Knockout Tool
Before beginning any turning operation
that uses the live center installed into the
tailstock quill, make sure the spur and
live centers are properly aligned (refer to
Aligning Centers on Page 37 for detailed
instructions). Failure to heed this warning
could result in the workpiece being thrown
from the lathe, resulting in death or serious
personal injury.
The included MT#2 spur center installs in the
spindle and forces the workpiece to spin with the
spindle.
Typically, the spur center is driven into the
workpiece (see Spindle Turning on Page 27 for
detailed instructions), then the center is inserted
with the workpiece into the spindle.

6. Make sure the center is securely installed by
attempting to pull it out by hand—a properly
installed center will not pull out by hand.
