ADJUSTING TAILSTOCK TO BED
The tailstock supports the workpiece for spindle turning. To
prevent excessive looseness or rocking, the tailstock contains
an adjustment feature which bears against the keyplate on
the underside of the bed. To adjust, refer to Figure 6 and pro-
ceed with the following:
• With the tailstock lock loose, tighten the adjusting screw snug
against the keyplate. From snug, back off 1/4turn.
• With the tailstock lock still loose, slide the tailstock along
the full length of the bed. If it binds or sticks in any one
spot, loosen the adjusting screw only enough so that the
tailstock slides smoothly. If the tailstock feels loose and can
be rocked slightly, tighten the screw only enough so that it
will not bind when sliding the full length of the bed.
• When both conditions have been met, tighten the lock nut.
INSTALLING BRASS PINS IN LOCKS
Brass pins are required under the lock bolts of both the tail-
stock Figure 7, (A) and the tool rest support Figure 7, (B). The
purpose of these brass pins is to securely grip onto the bed
without scarring the bed.
• Locate the two brass pins in the bag of parts. Remove the
lock bolt in each assembly. Refer to Figure 6, (B) and Figure
7, (D) for locations.
• Insert a brass pin in the threaded hole of each lock and
then replace the lock bolts with wrench handles attached.

ALIGNMENT OF TAILSTOCK CENTER TO HEAD-
D
STOCK CENTER
The spur center and the bearing center are used for spindle
turning and should always be in alignment. To align centers,
refer to Figure 8 and adjust as follows:
• Slide the tailstock toward the headstock so that the two
points of the centers are very close but not touching.
Tighten the tailstock lock.
• Loosen the set screw in the foot about two turns.
• Using a 3/16H hex wrench, loosen the set screw on the back
of the headstock that secures the bed. This screw is locat-
ed about 1 3/4"up from the bench.
• Swing the tailstock so that the two points are in line. Then
tighten the set screw in the headstock and the set screw
on the side of the foot.
