mounting center in tailstock
1. Feed the quill out about 1" so that the center
can be inserted.
2. insert the center into the quill opening (see
figure 34).
When a center is used in the spindle, the most
common application is using it with a faceplate
(see
figure 33).
3. position the tailstock so the center presses
against the workpiece, then lock the tailstock
in place.
4. Feed the quill into the workpiece. the force
of a mounted workpiece will fully seat the
taper.
note: Make sure there is a center drilled hole
in the end of the workpiece for the center.
5. lock the quill into place once the center and
the part rotate together. the quill may need
to be adjusted during operation.
6. to remove a center, retract the quill until the
center pops free. Be sure to catch it when it
comes out to avoid damaging the tip.
mounting center in spindle
1. remove the chuck from the spindle.
2. install the dead center in the spindle sleeve.
3. install the sleeve into the spindle opening.
4. Attach the faceplate to the spindle.
note: When using the dead center in the
spindle, use a lathe dog so that your part will
rotate with the spindle and not spin on the
dead center tip.
