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.
