The tailstock (see Figure 38) is typically used to
support long workpieces by means of a live or
dead center (refer to Centers on Page 75 in the
following section). It can also be used to hold a
drill or chuck to bore holes in the center of a part.
Custom arbors and tapers can also be cut on your
lathe by using the offset tailstock adjustment.
Also, a torque wrench can be used with the
tailstock for repeating super-accurate vertical
alignment.
