Warning!
Do not use a metal hammer to pound on the extension bed. This may damage the bed, affect
accuracy and tailstock action, and may prevent you from adding another extension bed.
4. Bring the Tailstock along until it is on top of the join area where the bed extension face meets the
lathe bed face. The bed extension may need to be manipulated up-and-down and sideways in
order for the Tailstock to fit.
5. Check that the toolslide and tailstock move freely over the mating joint and also over the full length
of the add-on extension. If there is a ridge between the two mating surfaces then repeat steps 1 - 4
again, use a smooth file to file the surfaces flush.
6. Follow the suggestions under "Mounting the Lathe to a Support Surface".
