I gave up on finding an original extended point for the indexing faceplate and finally just made one. Here it is with the indexing faceplate:
in the spindle:
And on it's lonesome:
You can't use the JT12-MT2 adapter as it has a little stickout from the spindle face that interferes with the indexing faceplate (at least with my adapter and plate), so the taper gageline is back to 1.495 from 1.500, leaving it about .05 into the spindle after being whomped. I made it from 4140HT bought from eBay, it was likely scrap as it had some bow - about .100 across 12". Anyway, it just works with the dog plate on the indexing faceplate, should've made it about 1/2" longer (forgot about the dogplate thickness...)
dims: length of taper: 2.56", length gage line to point: 3.675, OAL about 6.125"
