Installing/Removing Live Center
To install the live center, do these steps:
1. Loosen the quill lock handle (if locked) approximate-
ly half a turn counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the quill handwheel clockwise until the
tailstock quill protrudes out of the tailstock housing
about 3/4''.
3. Insert the live center, as shown in Figure 12, and
push firmly.
4. Tighten the lock handle.
To remove the live center, do these steps:
1. Turn the quill handwheel counterclockwise until the
tailstock quill bottoms out, causing the center to be
forced out of the quill.
Figure 12. Installing live center.
The tailstock quill lock handle must
always be locked down while the
lathe is in use. The workpiece can be
thrown from the lathe if this step is
not observed. Also, the tailstock quill
should not protrude from the tailstock
housing more than 2'' or the quill will
not be supported enough. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in
personal injury.
