3.Mount the faceplace to the spindle (see

Figure 32).

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

NOTICE

To avoid premature wear of the dead center or damage to the workpiece, always keep the dead center tip well lubricated.

Removing a Sleeve and Center from the Spindle

1.With assistance, hold a piece of wood up against the center to keep it from falling out of the spindle during the next steps.

2.Insert round bar stock at least 1-1/4" in diameter in the outbound end of the spindle tube and up against the back of the spindle sleeve.

3.Use a dead blow hammer to tap the bar with enough force to knock the spindle sleeve loose from the spindle taper.

Note: Use caution when inserting the bar stock into the spindle to avoid damaging the inside surface of the spindle tube.

Tailstock

The tailstock of the Model G9249 can be used to support workpieces with the use of a live (rotating) or dead (stationary) center. Mount the drill chuck and arbor into the quill to center drill or bore holes. The tailstock can also be used for cutting shallow tapers by adjusting the offset.

Installing a Tapered Tool into the Quill

1.Position and lock the tailstock in place, and unlock the quill.

2.Rotate the quill handwheel clockwise to extend the quill about 1".

3.Clean debris and grime from the tapered mat- ing surfaces of the tool and the inside of the quill.

4.Insert the tapered device into the quill until the taper is firmly seated. The matching tapers hold the device into the quill (see Figure 33 for an example).

5.Use the quill handwheel to move the tool toward and away from the rotating workpiece.

6.To remove the tapered tool, support it with one hand and retract the quill by turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the tool is pushed out.
