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 the headstock assembly per system layout. The
headstock must be 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 (see Figure 4-12).

3. Position the tailstock on the floor across from the headstock (see Figure 4-
15). Use the chalk line and the center line of each component as guides for
placement of the tailstock column on the floor.
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.
4. 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 (see Figure 4-15).
