The
tailstock of a lathe machine is used to hold cutting tools such as reamers, drills, and taps. It provides support and alignment for these tools when performing operations like drilling, reaming, and tapping along the workpiece's axis. The tailstock can be adjusted along the lathe bed to suit the length of the workpiece.
Functions of the Tailstock:
· Holds and supports tools for axial operations.
· Provides stability to the workpiece during machining by supporting its free end with a center.
Applications:
· Drilling, reaming, and tapping along the centerline of the workpiece.
· Supporting long workpieces with a live or dead center.
