Question, cause I'm old and lazy.... Seems like you could pull the Spindle without removing the Tailstock from the Lathe. But a nice "Tip" to have a proper height cart waiting! 👍

You’re absolutely right it could be done that way The reason why we choose to remove that is because students might need to use that machine, and it can be used without the tail stock on it Thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s much appreciated and also good advice for other people watching a video.

I would have done it on the lathe without removing the tail stock. Throwing it in a vice will ding up the bottom of the casting. It would have been a good idea to clean the bottom and stone the mating surfaces to make sure you don't damage the ways. You're working with precision equipment, treat is accordingly.

I think I would have clean the barrel, nutm tailstock bore and screw before proceeding. The compressed air blew any trash into the tailstock barrel.

They could have used the vice soft jaws, but didn't. It is obvious they have some handy.

Would you do a video on applications of different types of grease in different machines.? Pls

I was instructed to run the type of tap you used through the part, never back it up, to avoid damaging the threads and the tap. Comment?

Help please ! My screw piece is frozen into the quill…..tried turning it out but can’t get it to turn inside the quill….Any suggestions for freeing it?

This happens at this college as well. Unfortunately what we do is take a large pipe put it into the handle and force the screw to thread through this generally damages the nut on the inside, not necessarily the threaded shaft so we will take it apart and re-tap the nut and it’s all good again, hopefully this helps

I was told never to use grease because it retains chips and grit when oil would release them. With exceptions being a j head and mill knee screw because they are often neglected and may never see attention.
