Adjusting Tailstock

the tailstock adjusts in the same manner as the
headstock.

To position the tailstock along the length of

the bed:

1. loosen the tailstock lock lever and move the

tailstock to the desired position along the
bed, as shown in

figure 19.

2. re-engage the tailstock lock lever to secure

the tailstock to the bed.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath
the tailstock will require occasional adjusting
to ensure proper clamping pressure of the
tailstock to the bed. Turn this hex nut in small
increments to fine tune the clamping pres-
sure as needed.

Always operate the lathe with the tailstock

firmly locked to the bed. Otherwise, serious

personal injury may occur by the tailstock

moving during operation and the workpiece

being ejected at high speed.
