Tailstock Quill
The tailstock quill can be moved in and out of the tailstock casting by turning the tailstock quill
movement quill handwheel.
1. To move the tailstock quill, loosen the quill
locking handle (A).
2. Turn the quill movement quill handwheel (B) to
move the quill as needed.
3. Re-tighten the quill locking handle (A) to
secure the quill in its new position.
Tailstock
The tailstock is used to support the end of the workpiece to be turned and can be moved along
the bed slideways to suit the length of the workpiece.
IMPORTANT: Never position the tailstock so close to the headstock that they may
come into contact with each other. Never position the tailstock at the end of the lathe bed so that
the tailstock base extends beyond the edge of the lathe bed.
1. To adjust the position of the tailstock, loosen (A)
the tailstock locking handle by lifting.
2. Slide tailstock along the bed into the desired
location.
3. Tighten (B) tailstock locking handle by pressing
downward to lock in place.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the
handle lever. This will distort the locking plate and
loosen the gripping capability over time.
