tailstock setup the tailstock alignment was set at the factory with the headstock. however, we recommend that you take the time to ensure that the tailstock is aligned to your own desired tolerances. speed levers to align the tailstock: Center drill a 6'' long piece of bar stock on both ends.

Attach a lathe dog to the bar stock from — if the stock is thinner at the tailstock end, step 1 and mount it between the centers (as the tailstock needs to be moved away from shown in figure 14). the operator by at least the amount of the taper (figure 16).

to install a chuck: turn the other cams in the same way. Make sure to support the chuck with one hand as you align the last cam. the chuck may come disConnECt lAthE froM poWEr! off at this point, so it is important you are ready to support its weight.
centers spider A tailstock center supports stock that is too your lathe is equipped with a set of outboard long to be supported by the chuck alone. the spindle supports otherwise known as a "spi- der" (figure 23). use the spider when a long tailstock barrel and live center have an Mt#3 taper.
