A drill chuck (not supplied) can also be installed in the tailstock arbor as long as it is a Morse Taper #2 mounting. A chuck is useful if you wish to do boring where the workpiece is held in the chuck and a drill bit is placed in the tailstock. In this application the tailstock handwheel would be used to advance the piece into the stationary drill bit.
(1)The tailstock barrel lock handle must always be locked down while the lathe is in use. The workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if this step is not observed. (2) The tail- stock barrel should not protrude from the tailstock housing more than 2''. Serious per- sonal injury may occur.

Face Plate
The G1495 is supplied with a 6'' face plate.The faceplate is used for bowl and plate turning. Install the face plate by threading the face plate onto the inboard spindle. Use the knockout bar to hold the spindle from rotating while tightening or removing the face plate. Figure 20. Mount your workpiece to the face plate using the mounting holes which are bored through the face plate.
