Using Centers
The MT#2 dead center is used in the tailstock, and the 
MT#3 in the lathe spindle. When used in the tailstock, 
make sure to keep the dead center tip and workpiece 
lubricated to prevent tip galling. 
To install a dead or live center into the tailstock, do 
these steps:
1.  Feed the quill out about 1" and insert the dead 
center (Figure 23). The mating tapers provide the 
locking action.
2.  Move the tailstock into position and lock the 
tailstock in place.
3.  Feed the quill into the workpiece.

4.  Lock the quill into place once the live center and 
the part rotate together.

5.  To remove the dead center, retract the quill until 
the dead center pops free.
To install a MT#5 dead center into the spindle, do these 
steps:
1.  Remove the chuck from the spindle.
2.  Make sure all mating surfaces are clean and are wiped 
with a thin coat of oil.
3.  Install the dead center in the spindle.
4.  Attach the faceplate to the spindle.
