Mount the work piece fitted with the drive dog between
centres. The drive dog is driven by the face plate.
Lubricate the tailstock centre with grease to prevent tip from
overheating.

To turn a taper, offset the tailstock, loosen the locking screws
(Z, Fig 8‐3) and use screws (Y) to adjust.
After taper turning, the tailstock must be returned to its
original position. Turn a test piece and adjust until the machine
turns a perfect cylinder.

By angling the top slide, tapers may be turned.
Loosen hex socket bolts with 4mm allen wrench (W, Fig 8‐4)
