Delta Midi tail stock????????/
How do you easily remove the morse taper tail stock (it is hollow to
allow the pin to come out) To remove it, I have to bang on the head, there must be a better way. Remove golf from email addy for personal reply Joe |

Remove golf from email addy for personal reply Joe From page 8 of the owner's manual: "To remove the live center (A) Fig. 13 from the tailstock spindle, loosen lock knob (C) and rotate handwheel (D) to move spindle (B) back into the tailstock body. This action will push the live center (A) out of the spindle (B)." -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA |

What him say... with the comment that the live center can get pretty darned tight in the taper and sometimes I have to give the projecting thingy on the handwheel a whack with the palm of my hand to pop the live center loose. _____ American Association of Woodturners Cascade Woodturners Assoc., Portland, Oregon Northwest Woodturners, Tigard, Oregon _____ |

Joe,
I'm not sure you can eject the live center by winding in the tailstock all the way on the Delta midi. If that doesn't work, morse tapers are supposed to hold strongly and giving the knockout bar a good whack with a mallet not hurt the taper nor should it damage the center. Hold a rag over the live center so that when it pops out, you don't damage the point of the center by sending the thing as a projectile. Joe Fleming - San Diego "Joe" wrote in message ...
