Turning tapers
4.19.1 Cross-adjustment of the tailstock
The cross-adjustment of the tailstock is used for turning long, thin bodies.
Unlock the tailstock by moving the clamping handle (K) backwards.
Loosen the threaded pin (F).
Loosen threaded pin (G2) and tighten threaded pin (G1) if you wish to move the tailstock
towards the operator's side.
Loosen threaded pin (G1) and tighten threaded pin (G2) if you wish to offset the tailstock in
the opposite direction.
Tighten the threaded pin (F) again in order to fix the cross-adjustment of the tailstock.
Clamp the tailstock by moving the clamping handle forwards (L).
INFORMATION
Example:
A 300mm long shaft is to be taper-turned between the centres with an angle of 1°.
Cross-adjustment of the tailstock = 300mm x Tan 1°. The tailstock must be cross-adjusted by
approximately 5.236mm.

ATTENTION!
Check clamping of the tailstock and the sleeve, respectively for the turning jobs between
the centres!
Tighten the securing screw at the end of the lathe bed in order to prevent the tailstock
from unintentional drawing-out of the lathe bed.
