positioning Tailstock
1. pull the tailstock lock lever to unlock the tail-
stock from the bedway.
2. slide the tailstock to the desired position.
3. push the tailstock lock lever to lock the tail-
stock against the bedway.
the tailstock (see
figure below) is typically used
to support long workpieces by means of a live or
dead center (refer to
centers in the following sec-
tion). it can also be used to hold a drill or chuck to
bore holes in the center of a part. Custom arbors
and tapers can also be cut on your lathe by using
the offset tailstock adjustment.
