Adjusting Tailstock
The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping
system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever
is tightened, a locking plate lifts up and secures the
tool rest to the bed.
To position the tailstock along the bed:
1. Loosen the release lever.
2. Slide the tailstock to the desired position along
the lathe bed (see Figure 17).
3. Re-tighten the release lever.
—If the release lever will not lock the tailstock
down onto the bed (either too loose or too
tight), loosen or tighten the hex nut (located
on the underside of the tailstock) in small
increments as needed to achieve the proper
clamping pressure.
Adjusting Tool Rest

system to secure it to the lathe bed. When the lever is
engaged, a locking plate lifts up and secures the tool
rest base to the bed.
To adjust tool rest:
