Note: If necessary in the following step, refer to Offsetting Tailstock on Page 39 for detailed instructions.

8.Use calipers to measure both ends of the workpiece.

If the test stock is thicker at the tailstock end, move the tailstock toward the front of the lathe 12 the distance of the amount of taper (see Figure 46).

Move the tailstock toward

the front of the lathe ½ the

distance of the taper.

If the test stock is thinner at the tailstock end, move the tailstock toward the back of the lathe 12 the distance of the amount of taper (see Figure 47).

Looking down from above.

Move tailstock toward the

back of the lathe ½ the distance of the taper.

Dead Centers

A dead center is a one-piece center that does not rotate with the workpiece and is used to support long, slender workpieces

Use the dead center in the spindle for operations where the workpiece rotates with the center and does not generate friction.

The carbide-tipped dead center can better withstand the effects of friction and is best used in the tailstock where the workpiece will rotate against it. The tip of the center must be generously lubricated during the operation to avoid premature wear and maximize smooth operation. Using low spindle speeds will also reduce the heat and wear from friction.
