Aligning Headstock Spindle to Tailstock

A misaligned headstock will not give you accurate results and may be dangerous. This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and requires you to remove and discard the sandpa- per disc if it is installed. If you need help locat- ing any parts of the machine, refer to the parts breakdown.

To check headstock/tailstock alignment:

1.DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the tool rest from the lathe bed.

3.With the spur center and live center installed, slide the tailstock up to the headstock so the tips of the centers are close to each other.

—If the tips of the centers will touch each other, as illustrated in Figure 45, the head- stock and tailstock are already aligned and no further adjustments are needed.

—If the tips of the centers will not touch each other, then the headstock needs to be aligned with the tailstock.
