    Default Teknatool lathe tl-1200

    Does the Live Centre on the Tailstock "knock-out" as on other lathes. This lathe has not been used for a long time. Is there a Morse Taper within the Tailstock? Maybe it is seized?

    Confusingly, there were two 'versions' of the TL-1200. One with a single square beam rail (I had one of those) and one with a pair of round rails with swivel head. Both good lathes for their time.

    The manual for the single square rail is much the same for the TL1000

    Here is the manual for the swivel head version, which is much the same as the TL1500

    Anyway, both had M2 tapers in head and tailstock.
    Stay sharp and stay safe!

    Does it eject using the handwheel or do you need to knock it out with a knockout bar?
