LOML surprised me for Christmas this year with a Tilt-A-Matic from Robust to fit my Mustard Monster. How cool is that!?
Seems it wasnt exactly easy to get. When she called Robust to order it, the person she talked to said there were none available. When she pressed them for Christmas availability, they replied that they would make one and ship it in time for the holiday. They made good on their commitment and now the MM has a new Tilt-A-Matic bolted to the end of the bed. Installation was a snap, it works well and is made to last. No more wrestling with the tailstock when it isnt needed. It swings either back or forward and is completely out of the way. Nice! If I ever hit the lotto, I am going to buy a Robust lathe.
