Offsetting Tailstock
The tailstock can be offset from the spindle
centerline for turning tapers. Move the tailstock
top casting toward the front of the lathe to
machine a taper at the tailstock end. Conversely,
position the tailstock top casting toward the back
of the lathe to machine a taper at the spindle
end.

The marks on the offset indicator are
arbitrary. For a precise offset, use a dial

Aligning Tailstock to Spindle
Centerline
Centerline
This is an essential adjustment that should be
verified or performed each time the tailstock
is used to turn concentric workpieces between
centers. If the tailstock is not aligned with the
spindle centerline when it is supposed to be,
turning results will be inaccurate along the
length of the workpiece.
