3.
Adjust extension bed to lathe bed, aligning the
surface and the inside ways as closely as
possible. Make the screws snug but not fully
tightened.

must be flush with surface of lathe bed, and
inside ways must be aligned, to allow smooth
movement of tailstock across joint.
5.
Tighten screws securely.
6.
