3. Release the set pin. Make sure the set pin
has engaged in its detent by trying to rotate
the headstock.
4. Now position the head stock along the bed
as desired and engage the quick release
lever.
The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action
clamping system to secure it to the lathe bed.
When the lever is thrown, a locking plate lifts up
and secures the tool rest to the bed. To position
the tailstock along the bed:
1. Loosen the quick release lever and move the
tailstock to the desired position. Figure 17.
2. Re-engage the quick release lever.
3. If the quick release lever will not lock the tail-
stock down onto the bed (either too loose or
too tight), loosen or tighten the Hex Nut
(located on the underside of the tailstock) in
small increments as needed to achieve the
proper clamping pressure.
