Top surfaces and inside ways must be flush to allow
smooth movement of tailstock.
Slide tailstock over joint where beds meet, so that
clamping nut is centred over joint. Lock tailstock clamping
handle; this will align the beds. (Fig 37).
Tighten screws in extension bed.

aligned flush.
Use a straight edge to check (Fig 39).
