Installing/Removing

Tailstock Center

The included live center installs into the tailstock quill with an MT#2 tapered fit.

To install the tailstock live center, do these steps:

1.Move the tailstock to a safe working distance away from the tool rest and headstock.

2.Loosen the quill locking lever, then rotate the quill handwheel clockwise until the quill extends out from the tailstock about 1" (see Figure 20).

3.Make sure the mating surfaces of the live center and quill are free of debris and oily substances before inserting the center.

4.Insert the tapered end of the center into the quill with a quick, firm motion.

5.Make sure the center is secure by attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center will not pull out by hand.

6.Tighten the quill locking lever to hold the quill and center in place.

Note: Make sure the quill locking lever is aligned with the quill keyway to prevent the quill from rotating during use.

To remove the tailstock live center, do these steps:

1.Loosen the quill locking lever.

2.Hold a clean rag under the center or wear a glove to catch the center when you remove it.

3.Rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise—the quill will retract back into the tailstock causing the center to be forced out.

Always lock the quill in place during lathe operation. Before tightening the quill locking lever, it must be properly aligned with the keyway on the quill. Otherwise, the spinning workpiece could be thrown from the lathe caus- ing death or serious personal injury.
