Removing Tooling

1.

Use a shop rag to hold the tool.

2.

Rotate the tailstock quill handwheel

counterclockwise until the tool is forced out
of the quill.

To install tooling in the tailstock:

1.

With the tailstock locked in place, unlock the

quill, then use the handwheel to extend it to
the 1" mark on the quill.

2.

Insert the drill chuck arbor or drill shank

into the quill, then quickly slap it in. Try to
twist the tool to check if it is firmly seated. A
firmly seated taper will not twist.


Note:

If the tapered shaft has a tang, align it

horizontally with the indent in the back of
the quill before fully inserting it.

3.

Unlock the tailstock and move it until the

tip of the cutting tool is close to, but not
touching, the workpiece, then re-lock the
tailstock.

4.

Start spindle rotation, unlock the quill, then

turn the quill handwheel clockwise to feed
the cutting tool into the workpiece.

Installing Tooling

The tailstock quill can hold live or dead centers
(refer to Mounting Center in Tailstock on
Page 38) or any MT#4 taper tooling, such as a
chuck arbor or tapered drill bit (see Figure 56).
