This tailstock came with a Boley Leinen 8mm lathe and I have no idea what it is used for. I'm hoping someone can tell me.
Thanks,

What is this tailstock used for

You might take a look at these links if you haven't done so already -

To me, it looks like the standard tail stock, that someone may have put or made
something for a special unknown purpose, the brass thumb wheel doesn't look OEM,
or it could be a case of " it fits so it must be so " from someone who was playing around with the parts.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
