Make sure mating surfaces of center and
quill are free of debris and oily substances
before inserting center to ensure a good fit
and reduce runout.

tailstock quill, as shown in Figure 16.
4. Make sure center is securely installed by
attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly
installed center will not pull out easily.

Removing Tailstock Center
1. Loosen quill-lock handle.
2. Hold a clean rag under spindle or wear a
glove to catch center when you remove it.
3. Rotate quill
counterclockwise—tailstock quill will retract
back into quill, causing center to be forced
out. If necessary, use knockout tool to remove
center.
Tailstock quill must ALWAYS be locked in
place during lathe operation. Before tight-
ening quill lock handle, set screw in front
of handle must be properly aligned with
quill keyway. Otherwise, workpiece can be
thrown from lathe, causing serious personal
injury or death.
