Mounting
Tailstock Drill
Removal
Prior to mounting the drill chuck into the tailstock,
wipe the inside of the tailstock quill and arbor
down with a clean dry cloth and inspect them
for nicks or scratches. Any irregularities on the
surface of the arbor or inside the tailstock quill
will hinder the locking capability of the taper and
should be dressed smooth with a fine file. Then
wipe down with your hand to finish the cleaning
process.
To
mount the drill chuck into the tailstock of the
lathe, slide the arbor into the tailstock quill about
one half of the way. This should seat it well into
the tailstock quill.
Figure 26. Removing the drill chuck.
Because the drill chuck arbor is threaded on the
small end, removal requires the use of a mallet
and a wooden dowel as shown in Figure 26. Tap
along
the back edge of the drill chuck on the left
and then the right. The drill chuck and arbor will
pop loose from the tailstock quill.
Drill chuck arbors with a standard tang (or flat key)
on the small end of the taper allow the operator to
simply turn the tailstock handwheel counterclock-
wise
until the drill chuck arbor pops loose. Grizzly
offers a variety of chucks and arbors. Please see
our current catalog for more information.
