Tailstock Alignment
=`^li\20% Tailstock centering dead center.
The tailstock is aligned at the factory with the headstock.
We recommend that you take the time to ensure that the
tailstock is aligned to your own desired tolerances.
To align the tailstock, do these steps:
1. Get two pieces of steel round stock, two inches in
diameter and six inches long.
2. Center drill both ends of one piece of the round
stock.
3. Using the other piece of stock, make a dead center
by turning a shoulder to make a shank. Flip the
piece over in the chuck and turn a 60º point (see
Figure 20).
