When using a center in the spindle to mount
a workpiece, the other end of the workpiece
MUST be supported by a center installed in
the tailstock quill to safely hold the workpiece
in place during operation. Otherwise, the
workpiece will leave the lathe when the
spindle rotates and could cause serious per-
sonal injury or property damage.
