13.9. Machining longer work pieces with tailstock and lathe centre
Longer work pieces (chuck projection greater than the 3-fold work piece diameter) must
be held at the right end by the tailstock and the travelling lathe centre. To do so, please
affix a centring hole on the right side:
1. Carefully face turn the right face side.
2. Insert drill chuck 1 (Fig. 12) in the tailstock and clamp the centring drill.
3. Move the tailstock up to the work piece and fix with clamping screw 2.
4. Switch on the machine and create the centring hole using the sleeve feed (hand
wheel 4).
You can now replace the drill chuck with the travelling lathe centre. Place the centre in
the centring hole and carefully infeed until there is absolutely no play. Now fix the sleeve
with toggle 3.
