Using the Centers
The dead center is used in the tailstock and lathe spindle to support workpieces. When used in the tailstock, make sure to keep the MT#3 dead center tip and workpiece lubricated to prevent tip galling.
This lathe/mill is also supplied with an MT#5 dead center that fits into the lathe spindle taper.
To install a dead or live center:
1. Feed the quill out about 1" and insert the MT#3 dead center (Figure 24). The mating tapers provide the locking action.
Figure 24. Inserting dead center.
2. Move the tailstock into position and lock in place.

To install the MT#5 dead center in the spin- dle:

1.DISCONNECT POWER TO THE LATHE/ MILL!

2.Remove the chuck from the spindle.

3.Install the MT#5 dead center in the spindle.

4.Attach the faceplate to the spindle, see Figure 25.

Note: When using the dead center in the spindle, use a lathe dog so that your part will rotate with the spindle and not spin on the dead center tip.
