The Shopsmith Lathe Tailstock Arbor lets you easily and accurately drill centered holes in the ends of work pieces to prepare for Lathe Turning. To use the Tailstock Arbor, slip the Drill Chuck over the end of the Tailstock Arbor and tighten the setscrew in the Drill Chuck. The other end of this arbor fits the #2 Morse Taper in the Lathe Tailstock and automatically locks in place. Use the quill feed lever to move the rotating turning stock against the drill bit and drill the center hole to your desired depth.
