    Mori SL1 Tailstock Questions

    A couple quick questions on the tailstock for a Mori SL1....

    How much travel should I expect to see from what we'll call the quill? I'm only seeing about 2.5-3". If it's supposed to be more, how do I adjust the travel distance?

    What is the knurled knob at the back of the tailstock for?

    Thank you!

    Re: Mori SL1 Tailstock Questions

    AH Finally a question I can answer.

    Ok so the tailstock on the Mori SL1 is not for machining operations. It's only there to hold parts so it does only come out about 2-3". It doesn't nee to be longer.

    The knob on the back side is to set how far the quill stays out when it's retracted. I assume so if you're making lots of the same parts you don't need to wait for the quill to come all the way out.
