14. Tailstock
■ The tailstock can be moved on the lathe bed.
■ By moving the clamping lever (3), the tailstock can easily be secured in any position.
■ The tailstock is made up of an upper and lower section.
■ The upper section can be moved by a maximum of ±10 mm in order to turn long, slim tapers.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Undo the hexagonal nut (6)
2. With the help of both threaded pins (8), slide the upper section into the required direction
■ The central position of the tailstock is shown by the scale mark (7)
■ Turn a sample to see whether the work piece is cylindrical, correct the tailstock setting if necessary
Tailstock sleeve
■ The solid tailstock sleeve has a millimetre scale.
To read off the distance of travel of the tailstock sleeve, there is a scale ring (9)
■ One mark on the scale corresponds to an adjustment of 0.1 mm.
■ One turn of the ball crank (5) corresponds to a distance of 2 mm.
■ Centre point, drill or drill chucks are automatically ejected when turning back.
Tool holder
■ There is an inside cone MK 2 which is designed to hold tools and is incorporated in the sleeve
(1).
■ 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).
