Using the Tailstock
The tailstock (Figure 18) can be used to support
workpieces with the use of a live or dead center. Using an
MT#2 drill chuck and a drill bit, the lathe can drill or bore
holes in the center of a part. The tailstock can also be
offset for cutting shallow tapers.
To use the tailstock, do these steps:
1. Slide the tailstock to the desired position.
2. Tighten the tailstock lock nut to lock the tailstock in
place on the ways.
3. With the tailstock locked, turn the quill lock lever to
unlock the quill.
4. Turn the quill feed handle clockwise to feed/move
the quill towards the spindle, or counterclockwise to
move away from the spindle.
5. Turn the quill lock lever to lock the quill in place.
