Adjustable Tailstock Center for UNIMAT or Sherline or Craftsman Lathes // all steel design Check out my other items! Send e-mail or add to PayPal order: UNIMAT or Sherline or Craftsman . If we don't receive a note, we mail the Sherline version. Only ONE adapter will be included for UNIMAT or Sherline or Craftsman. Select what size you want, please. Included: UNIMAT SL DB tailstock mounting adapter (tool steel) or Morse #0 taper (Sherline) or Craftsman 109 taper (steel) T-slot bar (steel) nut that slides inside of the T-slot (steel), tool steel dead center pin, New: reduced length Morse #0 arbor (compatible with Sherline live center) short manual, safety booklet. Tailstock accessories for benchtop lathes: the adapter has a tool steel pin on one side that fits into an UNIMAT SL DB tailstock spindle (or a Morse #0 taper for Sherline lathes) and a dead center (tool steel pin) on the other side. Both pieces are mounted on an steel bar. In order to adjust the dead center to tailstock spindle distance the bar has a T-slot keyway and the dead center comes with a T-nut. Typical application: Cutting taper in longer and/or larger diameter stock without a center is dangerous and basically impossible. This adjustable tailstock center compensates for the offset when cutting taper by rotating the headstock. Note that this accessory is designed for cutting small taper angle as those common on machine taper. The dead center can be moved in and out of the center line. In addition, long taper can be cut by off-setting the tailstock. Procedure: Insert pin end / Morse Taper into the tailstock. Slide the dead center along the T-slot until it aligns with the center hole of your work piece. Tighten the dead center using a wrench. Included: UNIMAT SL DB tailstock mounting adapter (tool steel) or Morse #0 taper (Sherline) or Craftsman 109 taper (steel) T-slot bar (steel) nut that slides inside of the T-slot (steel), tool steel dead center pin, reduced length Morse #0 arbor (compatible with Sherline live center) short manual, safety booklet. NOT included: A lathe, tool post, etc may also be shown in the image to illustrate the application of the tool. A lathe etc. is NOT included in the sale. What is shown on the first image is included. UNIMAT / Sherline / Craftsman: The only difference is the mounting adapter for the tailstock. UNIMAT is a tool steel pin end, Sherline is a Morse #0 taper (reduced length), Craftsman is a "Craftsman style MT0" taper. At time of order, send e-mail or add to PayPal order: UNIMAT or Sherline or Craftsman. If we don't receive a note, we mail the Sherline version. Safety Notes, Trouble Shooting, Limitations, and Disclaimer: General safety rules for machine/power tools are in place. For an extended list of safety notes, consult the literature. Use protective closing including, most importantly, safety glasses for metal work. This accessory is designed for small taper angle as those common on machine taper. For large angle settings (>5°) unstable and dangerous working conditions may appear. Don’t use this accessory for large taper angles. A typical application may be machining MT2 or MT1 ends in longer stock rods. The bar used to mount the dead center cannot be tilted (typically not required), i.e., use this design for small taper angles on not too long metal rods (when rotating the headstock). Alternatively, a tilted pin (1-2 deg) can easily be machined, (or cut a pin with a spherical end). In doing so use a short aluminum round, drill and tap it at one end to mount is on the T-slot table. Drill a 1/4" hole in the other end which is tilted by 1-2 deg. Use a milling attachment for that. Insert the tool steel pin in that hole and you have a tilted dead center. However, again, this is typically not required. Be aware of that you may generate significant side forces on the tailstock. The PIN used to mount that plate in the tailstock is only about 0.5”. Therefore, don’t overdo it with the size of the work pieces. In addition, working on hard to machine materials such as stainless steel will generate larger forces and is in any case not recommended on a small benchtop lathe. Similarly, the screws and bold end holding the dead center must be tight. Large forces on the adapter may loosen these screws which may result in a sudden change of the position of the dead center. RPM maximum are 2800. The adapter is tested only on UNIMAT and Sherline standard lathes and may not be used on other systems.
