ADJUSTMENTS
TAILSTOCK
1. Move the tailstock (Fig. J - 5) by loosening the lock lever (Fig.
J - 1) and pushing the tailstock to the desired position on the
bed. Lock it back in place by tightening the lock lever again.
2. The quill extends up to 2-1/2 inches from the tailstock hous-
ing. Move the tailstock quill (Fig. J -4) by loosening the quill lock
lever (Fig. J - 2) and turning the hand wheel (Fig. J - 3). Turn the
hand wheel clockwise to extend the quill. Turn the hand wheel
counterclockwise to retract the quill.
3. Lock the levers (Fig. J - 1 & 2) before operating the lathe.
4. The tailstock quill is hollow and can be accessed from the
hand wheel end. Use the knockout rod to remove the center
cup or to drill holes through the center of a workpiece on a flat
plate.

lathe bed.
2. To adjust the tool rest, loosen the lock lever (Fig. K - 3) to
move the tool rest (Fig. K - 2) to the desired position, then
tighten the lock lever.
3. To change the tool rest, loosen the lock lever (Fig. K - 3) and
pull the tool rest (Fig. K - 2) out of the tool rest base, then insert
the tool rest, adjust the rest to the desired position and tighten
the lock lever (Fig. K - 3)
