Type II Installation
To install the tailstock of a Type II assembly onto a cell base or floor,
proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the proper position for the headstock assembly per system
layout. The headstock must permanently anchored to the floor/base.
2. Using a carpenter’s chalk string, strike a chalk line on the floor from
the edge of the headstock base towards location of the tailstock.
Fig. 4-22: Strike Chalk Line
3. Position the tailstock on the floor across from the headstock.
4. Use the chalk line and the center line of each component as guides for
placement of the tailstock column on the floor.
5. To position the tailstock accurately on the bearing center line, make
two measurements from the tailstock base to the chalk line and adjust
the base as necessary.

NOTE
Keeping the center line of each component aligned is not
critical. However, the closer the bearings of both
components are aligned with one another, the greater the
degree of misalignment allowed with other system
components.
