Offsetting the tailstock can turn work to side angle 
of 5º. The angle depends on the length of the 
workpiece. 

To off-set the tailstock, loosen locking screw (1, 
Figure 16) loosen the front adjusting screw (2) and 
take up the same amount by tightening the rear 
adjusting screw (3) until the desired taper has been 
reached. Tighten the front screw to lock the 
tailstock in position. The workpiece must be held 
between two centers and driven by a faceplate and 
driver dog. 

After taper turning, the tailstock should be returned 
to its original position. Turning a test piece with 
constant adjustment until the piece is absolutely 
true checks the zero position of the tailstock. 

 
 

By angling the top slide, tapers may be turned 
(Figure 17). 

Loosen two screws (1, Figure 17); top slide can 
then be rotated. A graduated scale permits accurate 
adjustment of the top slide. This method can only 
be used for short tapers. 

 
 
 

For turning between centers, it is necessary to 
remove the chuck from the spindle. Fit the MT-3 
center into the spindle nose and the MT-2 center 
into the tailstock. 

Mount the workpiece fitted with the driver dog 
between the centers. The driver is driven by a catch 
plate or face plate (Figure 18). 

 

Note: Always use a small amount of grease on the 
tailstock center to prevent center tip from 
overheating.
