Coaxial misalignment

I'm setting up the tailstock for some upcoming 4-axis projects and unfortunately it's taller than the rotary table. So I needed to make a spacer to raise it up as seen here. 

Sadly, I lack enough foresight to have noticed the tailstock is center mounted on the table and the rotary is offset. So it's time for a more involved spacer design!


This time I will use the CNC to cut all the needed slots/holes instead of the old manual mill.




 Perfect!
