3. Mount the faceplace to the spindle (see
figure 32).

will rotate with the spindle and not spin on the
dead center tip.

dead Center
NOTICE
To avoid premature wear of the dead center
or damage to the workpiece, always keep
the dead center tip well lubricated.
Removing a Sleeve and center from
the Spindle
1. With assistance, hold a piece of wood up
against the center to keep it from falling out
of the spindle during the next steps.
2. insert round bar stock at least 1-1/4" in
diameter in the outbound end of the spindle
tube and up against the back of the spindle
sleeve.
3. use a dead blow hammer to tap the bar with
enough force to knock the spindle sleeve
loose from the spindle taper.
Note:
Use caution when inserting the bar
stock into the spindle to avoid damaging the
inside surface of the spindle tube.
Tailstock
the tailstock of the Model g9249 can be used to
support workpieces with the use of a live (rotating)
or dead (stationary) center. Mount the drill chuck
and arbor into the quill to center drill or bore holes.
the tailstock can also be used for cutting shallow
tapers by adjusting the offset.
Installing a Tapered Tool into the
Quill
1. position and lock the tailstock in place, and
unlock the quill.
2. rotate the quill handwheel clockwise to
extend the quill about 1".
3. Clean debris and grime from the tapered mat-
ing surfaces of the tool and the inside of the
quill.
4. insert the tapered device into the quill until the
taper is firmly seated. the matching tapers
hold the device into the quill (see
figure 33
for an example).

5. use the quill handwheel to move the tool toward
and away from the rotating workpiece.
6. to remove the tapered tool, support it with
one hand and retract the quill by turning the
handwheel counterclockwise until the tool is
pushed out.
