need tail stock for rotary indexer

Through lots of use and a bit of abuse, I've managed to waller out the pin holes in the tightening ring in the tail stock.
I can probably drill new holes but in the meantime, is the tail stock available on its own? Everything as far as files have moved enough that I can't find the listing for the indexer right now and google comes up dry for this as well.

That ring is sold attached to the taper adapter. Looks like we get it from Remco Supply and the part number is 70722. It looks like it'd be pretty annoying to order from them--but cheaper. If you don't want to deal with that, I'm sure that ShopBot would sell you another one. Our part number is 003234. If you call them up and say you'd like to order one, they can get it on the way.

Good deal, I'll do one or the other.

One thing I forgot to mention--The taper adapter comes with a key pressed into it. We have to pull those out to slide the adapters into the tailstock. The way I do it is by grabbing the key in a vise and prying the taper adapter upwards--You have to pull REALLY hard.

That is good to know. I'll be prepared for a challenge!

I guess if the nut is all you need then you'll be fine--but just in case you're going to replace the adapter as well...
