Let’s start by refurbishing the tailstock, which seems to be in pretty good condition. The tailstock is designed in such a way that its quill remains fully supported despite its position. It’s a typical construction of some precision machines. The tailstock is fixed to the bed using a lever that acts on a cam lock. The quill is locked by a usual half-moon clamps. The fit of the quill is very good, especially in the first part of the displacement.
