automated tailstock on emco compact 8

If anyone is interested, I have modified the tailstock on my emco
compact 8 cnc retrofit with the addition of a stepper motor which is
controlled by the y axis.

while this will probably not get much use, it was sure nice to not
have to crank the handwheel for drilling a 300+ pc run of delrin
rollers.
...now to add automatic tailstock positioning, c axis control, and 8
position tool turret and ill have the trickest C8 around!
