8.8 Tailstock
The tailstock is attached to the slide bars in such a way that it is slidable. It can be easily tightened
in any position by screwing the lower T-handle (4251). It can be separated into barrel and base. By
loosening the spanner bolt (424), the tailstock barrel can be pushed to either side by up to 10 mm
and is, therefore, suitable for the turning of slight tapers. After completing the taper work, the
tailstock is to be returned to its original position.
The central position of the tailstock is indicated by the mark on the side. By making a trial turning
operation establish whether the working piece is cylindrical and if necessary correct the position of
the tailstock.
Solid tailstock sleeve:
The solid tailstock sleeve, which is provided with a millimetre scale, is designed in such a way that
the lathe centre, drill barrel or chuck are automatically ejected when turning back.
Tool clamping:
An inner cone MT 2 which is worked into the tailstock sleeve serves to accept the tools. By
screwing the upper T-handle (4251), the tailstock sleeve can easily be clamped in any position. The
tailstock sleeve can be moved axialy over a threaded spindle by using the crank (31212) located at
the rear end.
