W1758 Owner's Manual (Mfg. Since 3/10)
The tailstock is equipped with a cam-action clamping sys-
tem to secure it to the lathe bed. When the locking lever
is tightened, a locking plate lifts up underneath the bed
and secures the tailstock in place.
Loosen the tailstock locking lever (see ),
and move the tailstock in position.
Re-tighten the locking lever to secure the tailstock
in place.
The large clamping hex nut underneath the
tailstock may require occasional adjusting to ensure
proper clamping pressure of the headstock to the
bed.
