Aligning Centers
To ensure accurate and safe turning results, the

with one another.
To align the centers:
1. With the headstock and tailstock centers
installed, slide the tailstock up to the head-
stock.
2. Loosen the headstock lock handle and swivel
the headstock so the tip of the centers touch,
as illustrated in
Figure 56, then lock the
headstock in place.
