It is a part of a lathe machine and is used to support lengthy jobs. To accommodate works of
different lengths between centres, the tail-stock may be moved on the lathe bed to the required
position and clamped by means of a clamping bolt.
Figure 18.18 shows various parts of a tail-stock. The barrel 2 is fitted into the bore of the
tail-stock body 1 and is prevented from rotation by the feather key 9 placed underneath of it. The
barrel has a threaded portion at its end and the spindle 3 is inserted into the barrel through this.
The hand wheel 6 is mounted on the spindle by a key and is retained in position by a nut. The
spindle bearing 5 is placed between the hand wheel and the tail-stock body. A tapered hole provided
at the front end of the barrel, receives the dead centre 4 or a tapered shank of the drill or reamer.
When the hand wheel is operated, the barrel is made to move in or out of the tail-stock
body. In the required position of the barrel, clamping may be made by means of the clamping
lever 7 and stud 8 which is fitted to the tail-stock body. The spindle bearing is fixed to the body by
means of the screws 10.
