Looks great! Im having an issue with my tail stock. The steel sleeve that takes centering pins or collets has completely seized. I havent even gotten to use it. I tried soaking in CLR, but that did nothing. Ive also tried heat. Not sure what i am to do. -

WS is tool steel that is water quenched. It should still work for you, and if you heat and temper correctly, it can actually get a bit harder than O1 steel. Don't give up on your gravers just yet. Work on cutting profile and I firmly believe you will get great results. -
Yes that is a different part but I believe all those movements would also have the part I need. Sadly there are very few of them and seem to be around £100 so probably better off with that part from italy

Good work! 🙂👍 I've had a couple of very tricky situations that took a lot of time and effort to sort out. The nice thing is that once you've figured it out it feels like you've already solved the problem, even though the job remains to be done! 🙂 If of interest here are a couple of links to those tricky cases. https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/25822-need-help-fault-finding-why-the-train-of-wheels-is-binding/#comment-215574 https://www.watchrepairtalk.com/topic/11959-what’s-wrong-with-this-eta-2824-2-movement/#comment-114127

As discussed previously on this forum, I was having problem sourcing parts for my tailstock for drilling. I got lots of help and advice, thanks for that. Having read the feedback and looking around, I finally found a tailstock with a slide that takes 8mm collets. It was a bit steep but, I received it today and, after a strip-down and service, it's working very nicely. I also got myself another "standard" tailstock for £40 which I was going to use for parts but I don't need them so I now have three! Incidentally, I know that I can use the collets but I found a 8mm collet with a JT0 taper and got myself a JT0 chuck so I am very much ready to go! Thanks again for the advice and help.
