3. Insert the end of the dead center into the tail-
stock barrel, as shown in
Figure 18, until it
seats tight enough that it will not rotate when
turned by hand.
Note—do not worry about
pushing the dead center into the barrel too
far. The force of the center contacting a
mounted workpiece will fully seat the taper
when the handwheel is tightened.
4. Tighten the barrel lock to prevent the tail-
stock barrel from moving during operation.

Removing Tailstock
Dead Center
Adjusting Tailstock
Longitude Position
To remove the tailstock dead center:
1. Use the barrel handwheel to move the tail-
stock barrel all the way back into the tailstock
until the handwheel will no longer turn.
2. Pull the dead center out of the tailstock bar-
rel.
The tailstock on the Model G0516 clamps to the
bed with the nut shown in
Figure 19. This nut
allows the tailstock to be positioned longitudinally
along the bed and then locked in place.
To adjust the tailstock longitude position:
1. Use a 17mm wrench to loosen the tailstock
clamp bolt.
2. With your hands, move the tailstock into
position along the bed.
3. Tighten the tailstock clamp bolt to secure the
tailstock into position.
