Aligning Tailstock to Spindle
Centerline
This is an essential adjustment that should be ver-
ified or performed each time the tailstock is used
to turn concentric workpieces between centers
or immediately after offsetting the tailstock when
turning a taper. If the tailstock is not aligned with
the spindle centerline when it is supposed to be,
turning results will be inaccurate along the length
of the workpiece.

To align tailstock to spindle centerline:
1. Use precision level to make sure bedway is
level from side to side and from front to back.
— If bedway is not level, correct this condition
before continuing with this procedure (refer
to
Leveling section in this manual).
2. Center drill both ends of a piece of round
stock, then set it aside for use in
Step 5.
3. Use another piece of round stock to make a
dead center. Turn it to a 60° point, as illus-
trated below.
To offset the tailstock:
1. Rotate the adjustment set screws (shown in
Figure 42) in the opposite directions for the
desired offset.
