Default Jacobs Chuck on Jet Mini Lathe

Or with every taper. Some are not long enough to self-eject. Fortunately,
a bit of time with some brass or aluminum and a lathe will produce an
extension to make a non-ejector into an ejector.

While this certainly does work for this brand lathe, it doesn't work for

all
lathes. Not all of them have this auto-eject feature. Just a heads-up

for
the new lathe owners out there.

A kinder, gentler way to remove the tailstock center is to use the

handwheel
to retract the tailstock quill until the center drops
