Mounting Workpiece Between
Centers
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Drill center holes in both ends of workpiece.
3. Install dead center in spindle with lathe dog
and chuck or faceplate, then install live center
or carbide-tipped dead center in tailstock.
4. Lubricate workpiece center holes, then mount
it between centers and hold it in place with
light pressure from tailstock center.
5. Seat center firmly into quill by rotating
quill handwheel clockwise to apply pres-
sure against workpiece (see the example in
Figure 48).
Figure 48. Example of a workpiece mounted
between the centers.
Only apply enough pressure to securely mount
the workpiece between centers. Avoid over-tight-
ening the center against the workpiece, or it
may become difficult to remove later. Also, over-
tightening will result in excessive friction and heat,
which may damage the workpiece or center.
The drill chuck attaches to the tailstock quill
with the included B16 to MT#3 arbor, shown in
Figure 49. Matched tapers on the arbor and the
inside of the chuck create a semi-permanent
assembly when properly joined. The drill chuck
can accept tooling from
