4. Tighten the lock handle.
The tailstock quill lock handle must always
be locked down while the lathe is in use. The
workpiece can be thrown from the lathe if
this step is not observed. Also, the tailstock
quill should not protrude from the tailstock
housing more than 2'' or the quill will not be
supported enough. Failure to follow these
warnings may result in personal injury.
1. Turn the quill handwheel counterclockwise until
the tailstock quill bottoms out, causing the cen-
ter to be forced out of the quill.
Removing Live Center
The live center installs into the tailstock quill with a
taper fit.
