Removing the Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre and
Coronet Falcon Ring Centre from the lathe tailstock
For self-ejecting tailstock designs, loosen the quill locking lever and
rotate the hand wheel anti-clockwise to retract the quill and remove
the centre.
For non-self-ejecting tailstock designs, remove by placing the knockout
bar into the hole positioned at the opposite side of the tailstock from
the live centre or ring centre and give the centre a sharp knock to
dislodge it.

Ring Centre shown.
Fitting the Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and Multi-Tooth
Drive Centres to the lathe headstock
Before fitting the drive centre to the headstock, ensure that any
additional accessories such as faceplates and chucks have been
removed from the spindle.
To ensure that the 4-prong and 6-prong drive centres are securely
attached to the workpiece prior to use, on the face of the timber, mark
two diagonal lines from the top edge to the bottom edge to create
an X, locating the centre point of the face,
Fig 9.2
. Then, position the
product into the centre point of the two lines previously marked and
tap the centre with reasonable force until it bites into the timber, using
a soft mallet.
Note:
This process is not required for multi-prong drive centres, as
tailstock pressure will sufficiently secure the workpiece in place.
Insert the drive centre into the headstock spindle, as shown in
Fig 9.3
.
Removing the Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and Multi-
Tooth Drive Centres from the lathe headstock
Place the knockout bar into the hole positioned at the opposite side of
the headstock from the drive centre and give the centre a sharp knock
to dislodge it.
Cleaning the Coronet Falcon Traditional Live Centre, Coronet
Falcon Ring Centre and Coronet Hawk 4-Prong, 6-Prong and
Multi-Tooth Drive Centres
Periodically check the product for build-up of residue, dust and debris
which could impair its movement. Prior to use, carefully wipe the face
and morse taper using a dry cloth. To protect the centre from rust when
stored, apply a liberal amount of protective oil/ spray across the surface.
Excess materials could become lodged within the teeth of the drive
centres. To remove, gently brush any excess away using a wire brush.
Cleaning the Lathe Tailstock Quill and Headstock Spindle
Regular maintenance of the tailstock quill and headstock spindle is
recommended, so that each centre can be secured and positioned
correctly and help to prevent damage to the centre or the lathe.
Carefully brush each orifice of the lathe using a hole cleaning brush,
removing any excess materials.
