Description

The VL240 Swing Away Tailstock System is ideal for turners who frequently remove the tailstock from the bed. By being able to swing the tailstock out of the way, this allows the turner to have more room over the bed when turning bowls or vessels without the inconvenience of having to lift the tailstock on and off the bed.

Sequence of opening: 

STEP 1

Make sure latch is closed before moving
tailstock to the end of the support.

STEP 2

Open Latch once the tailstock is tightened in position.

STEP 3

Swing out to desired position.
