to install tooling in the tailstock:

1. With the tailstock locked in place, unlock the

quill, then use the handwheel to extend it
approximately 1".

2. thoroughly clean and dry the tapered mating

surfaces of the quill and the center, making
sure that no lint or oil remains on the tapers.

removing tooling

1. use a shop rag to hold the tool.

2. rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise

until the tool is forced out of the quill.

offsetting tailstock

the tailstock can be offset from the spindle cen-
terline for turning tapers. Move the tailstock top
casting toward the front of the lathe to machine a
taper at the tailstock end. Conversely, position the
tailstock top casting toward the back of the lathe
to machine a taper at the spindle end.

note: The marks on the offset indicator are arbi-
trary. For a precise offset, use a dial indicator to
check quill movement while adjusting the screws.

3. With a firm and quick motion, insert the tool

into the quill, as shown in

figure 35 on page

32. Check to see if it is firmly seated by
attempting to twist it—a firmly seated tool will
not twist.

4. unlock the tailstock and move it until the tip

of the tool is close to, but not touching, the
workpiece, then re-lock the tailstock.

5. start spindle rotation, unlock the quill lock

lever, then turn the quill handwheel clockwise
to feed the tool into the workpiece.

to offset the tailstock:

1. loosen the tailstock lock nut (see figure 36).

2. rotate the adjustment set screws in opposite

directions for the desired offset (see the illus-
tration in

figure 37).
