I suppose it's a bit late to say this but I thought about it a bit and got the combined package, think it saved about £15 over buying them separately. Of course, I've not used the tailstock but it's in a box somewhere if I need it!
Might help someone else who's thinking of getting a spinindexer...

I looked for those tail stocks but they don't seem to be available over here.

There's a complete package on eBay at the moment.

I don't need the spin indexer as I already have one but I did check ebay a while ago for just the tailstock and came up empty.

They've got them in Canada, any good?

And here. Picture shows the spin indexer but says "tailstock" only in the text.

Had a peek at the Accusizetools link as I hadn't heard of them before. Makes me beam with Canadian pride at their spelling "MATHING TAILSTOCK FOR THE 5C SPIN INDEX". Unless, of course, there is such a thing as a "MATHING TAILSTOCK".

I may have gone with that second one if I had seen it back when I was looking. Thanks for the links but I think I'll continue on with my project. Those links might help somebody in the future though.

I got some work done on this project this week. I finished the arbor. I started out with what you see in the first picture. I bought two of those off of ebay eons ago for dirt cheap. They have an MT-2 taper. At the time I bought them, I had intended to use one in an indexer project, that's why I bought them.
Check out the cool chatter pattern on that puppy.
I used the Nikcole Mini System to cut the groove. It cut it like butter.
Next step is to get back to the main body now that I've got a diameter for the arbor that I can measure.
