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 quick release and move the
tailstock to the desired position (Figure 13).
2.
Tighten the quick release.
—If the quick release 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.
