Installing.Tailstock.Center
1. Loosen quill lock handle, and rotate handwheel until
quill extends about 1", as shown in Figure.17.
2. 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.
3. Firmly insert tapered end of center into tailstock
quill, as shown in Figure.17.
4. Make sure center is securely installed by attempting
to pull it out by hand—a properly installed center
will not pull out easily.
5. Secure quill in place by retightening quill-lock
handle.
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 handwheel counterclockwise—tailstock quill
will retract back into quill, causing center to be
forced out. If this does not work, use knockout rod
to remove the center.
