C. TAILSTOCK LOCK HANDLE:
Locks the tailstock in
position along the length of the lathe bed. Unlock handle to
position the tool rest to move the tailstock. Tighten handle
when properly positioned. See page 17 for instructions on
how to adjust the locking tension.
D. TAILSTOCK QUILL LOCK HANDLE:
Secures the tail-
stock quill in position. Unlock the handle to move the quill,
with live center, forward or backwards. Tighten the locking
handle when the quill is finally positioned.
E.
TAILSTOCK QUILL HAND WHEEL:
The hand wheel
advances or retracts the quill. The quill’s locking handle (D)
must be loose to move the quill.
F.
TAILSTOCK LIVE CENTER:
Used for turning between
centers. The Live Center (L,#D1) and the Quill (#D6) have
MT-2 tapers. Remove the live center by retracting the quill
until the center loosens, or use the long knockout bar.
NOTE:
Be careful and hold the live center during this
process so it does not fly out onto the floor. Same process
as shown in figure 13 for the spur center.

HEADSTOCK SPUR CENTER
The Spur Center (M, #B27) is used for turning between
centers. It fits into the spindle. Both spindle and the spur
center have matching MT-2 tapers. The spur center can be
removed from the spindle with the long Knockout Bar (S).
Insert the knockout bar through the opposite, outboard left
end of the spindle, and then hit the spur center’s back end
to knock it out of the spindle.
NOTE:
Be careful and hold the spur center during this
process so it does not fly out onto the floor. Figure 13.

HEADSTOCK FACEPLATE
Faceplates (O,#B26) are used for turning bowls and plates.
There are a number of screw holes on the plate for mount-
ing the workpiece for turning.
To INSTALL the faceplate,
thread the faceplate onto the
spindle in a clockwise direction, and tighten it in place with
the set screws that are located on the back hub of the
faceplate. NOTE: there may be more than one set of set
screws on the faceplate hub. Figure 14.
To REMOVE the faceplate
, first loosen the set screws.
The spindle and rear hub of the faceplate each have
flats that are for use with open end wrenches. FIG. 14.
Next, use the 2 extra large, double ended wrenches (V)
(38mm/46mm) for holding the spindle and also to hold the
back hub of the faceplate for removal of the faceplate. Use
the same process for removing a chuck. Figure 15.
