the tailstock can be used to drill holes by mount-
ing a drill bit in the tailstock, rotating the workpiece
with the spindle, then using the tailstock quill
feed handwheel to advance the drill bit into the
workpiece.
to set up the tailstock for drilling:
1. lock the tailstock in position, then unlock the
quill.
2. use the quill feed handwheel to extend the
quill about one inch out of the tailstock.
3. insert a tapered drill arbor (figure 42), or the
tapered drill shank ( figure 43), into the quill
until the taper is firmly seated. the matching
tapers hold the arbor.
to remove a tapered drill arbor:
1. turn the quill feed handle counterclock-
wise until the chuck is pushed out from the
tailstock taper.
the coolant system delivers cutting fluid via a
positional nozzle. the coolant system is controlled
by a pump switch located on the control panel and
a valve lever near the base of the nozzle (
figure
44). the coolant pump will burn out if it is run with-
out cutting fluid in the coolant tank.
NOTICE
running the coolant pump without ade-
quate coolant in the coolant reservoir may
permanently damage the coolant system on
your lathe. this action is considered abuse
and is not covered by the warranty.
Always use high quality cutting fluid in your cool-
ant system and follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for diluting. remain aware of the condition
of the cutting fluid and change it promptly when it
becomes overly dirty or rancid. refer to
page 47
in the maintenance section for details on chang-
ing the cutting fluid.
to use the coolant system on your lathe:
1. Make sure the coolant tank is properly ser-
viced and filled with cutting fluid.
2. position the coolant nozzle as desired for
your operation.
3. use the control panel switch to turn the cool-
ant pump ON.
4. Adjust the flow of coolant by using the valve
lever at the base of the nozzle hose.
