Grizzly G0456 Adjusting Tailstock Adjusting Tool Rest, To position the tailstock along the bed

Adjusting Tailstock Adjusting Tool Rest

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 and secures the tool rest to the bed.

To position the tailstock along the bed:

1.Loosen the quick release and move the tailstock to the desired position (Figure 12).

2.Tighten the quick release.

—If the quick release will not lock the tailstock down onto the bed (either too loose or too tight), loosen or tighten the hex nut (located on the underside of the tailstock) in small increments as needed to achieve the proper clamping pressure.
