!) What does your comment have to do with the quote from my message
concerning the length of a particular live center taper?

2) Why would the ability to bore through the tailstock negate the
self-ejector feature of a piece of equipment (live center for example)
inserted into it's morse taper? I personally have a few lathes where all
are designed to bore through the tailstock and some are self-ejectors and
some are not. No problems boring through the tailstocks on any of them. Or
are you talking about the live center itself? I don't see where that would
be relevant either as that piece of equipment doesn't have anything to do
(except, obviously, it's length) with a "self-ejector" feature. Please
explain yourself.

Nope. Think about it. If they're designed to be able to bore through
them,
they'll lack the self-ejector.

That's why I mentioned two methods of extraction.

For example, the Nova is a non-ejector.

That must be a pretty short live center taper! Good point though. How
long
is that taper you're talking about?
