2.Make sure the mating surfaces of the center and quill are free of debris and oily substanc- es before inserting the center.

3.Insert the tapered end of the center into the tailstock quill, as shown in Figure 18.

4.Make sure the center is securely installed by attempting to pull it out by hand—a prop- erly installed center will not easily pull out by hand.

5.Secure the quill in place by re-tightening the quill lock handle.

To remove the center from the tailstock quill:

1.Loosen the quill lock handle.

2.Hold the center with a rag or a glove so the center does not fall to the floor when it is pushed free of the tailstock.

3.Rotate the tailstock handwheel counterclock- wise—the tailstock quill will retract back into the quill, causing the center to be released from the quill.
