11. Tailstock
■ The tailstock can be moved on the guide rods.
■ By moving the clamping lever (5), the tailstock can easily be secured in any position.
■ The tailstock is made up of an upper and lower section.
■ The top part can be moved 10 mm to both sides by undoing the hexagon screw (6) and is therefore
usable for lathe slim cones.
■ The tailstock has to be postponed into the primary position after the cone work is done.
■ The central position of the tailstock is shown by the scale mark.
■ Turn a sample to see whether the work piece is cylindrical, correct the tailstock setting if
necessary.

Tool holder:
■ There is an inside cone MK 2 which is designed to hold tools and is incorporated in the sleeve.
■ Tightening the clamping lever (2) ensures that the sleeve may be easily clamped in any position.
■ The sleeve is moved axially by the hand crank (5) by way of the threaded spindle (4).
