To install a chuck: Chuck and back plate join here. Place a piece of plywood across the lathe bed and position it just under the spindle. Place a socket head screw into one of the holes in the back plate. Lift the chuck up to the spindle and align the threaded hole in the back of the chuck with the screw.
The tailstock barrel and center have a Morse Dead Center Taper #3. Before assembling these, insure that the mating surfaces are “white glove” clean.
