Adjusting Tailstock

The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is tightened, a locking plate lifts up underneath the bed and secures the tailstock in place.

To position the tailstock along the length of the bed:

1.Loosen the tailstock lock handle and move the tailstock to the desired position along the bed (see Figure 19).

Figure 19. Tailstock lock handle.

2.Re-engage the tailstock lock handle to secure the tailstock to the bed.

Note: The large clamping hex nut under- neath the tailstock will require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of the tailstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small increments to fine tune the clamping pressure as needed.

Always operate the lathe with the tailstock firmly locked to the bed. Otherwise, serious personal injury may occur.
