The tailstock quill lock lever MUST be tight
and firmly secure the quill in place before
beginning operation. Also, the quill should
not protrude from the tailstock more than
2" or the quill will not adequately support
the workpiece. Otherwise, the workpiece
could come loose and fly at the operator
or bystanders resulting in death or serious
personal injury.
3. make sure the live center and the inside of
the quill are free of debris and oil substances
that could interfere with the proper mating of
these parts.
4. insert the tapered end of the live center into
the quill with a quick, firm motion.
5. make sure the center is secure by attempting
to pull it out by hand—a properly installed
center will not pull out by hand.
6. rotate the quill handwheel to draw the quill
back into the tailstock as far as possible with-
out forcing the center to release.
Note: The more the quill is drawn back into
the tailstock, the greater the workpiece sup-
port.
7. tighten the quill lock lever (see figure 25 on
the previous page) to hold the quill and center
in place.
To remove the live center:
1. Loosen the quill lock lever.
2. hold a clean rag under the center or wear a
glove to catch the center when you remove
it.
3. rotate the quill handwheel counterclockwise
to retract the quill back into the tailstock until
the center is forced out.
