Headstock of Engine Lathe The headstock assembly is permanently fastened to the left end of the lathe. It contains the headstock spindle, which is rotated by gears or by a combination of gear and pulleys. The spindle holds the attachments which, in turn, hold and turn the workpiece. Spindles come in several quality ratings and are supported in headstocks by three to five bearings. Since the accuracy of the work done on a lathe depends on the axis of rotation of the spindle holding the workpiece, the spindle and all its accessories must be built and assemble with the greatest possible care. A hold extends through the spindle itself. The front end of this hole is tapered for holding tools having a tapered shank. A taper sleeve (a hollow-round part) fits into the taper spindle hole, when holding a headstock, or live center. The headstock center is called a live center because it turns with the work. The center is a tapered metal part with a pointed end. It is used to support the end of a workpiece as it is being turned. All lathe center point have a 60-degree(°) included angle. Three common types of spindle noses are used to hold attachments on the spindle. 1. The threaded spindle nose has been used on lathes longer than any of the other types. Attachments to be mounted are screwed onto the spindle until they fit firmly against the spindle flange. The major disadvantage of the threaded spindle nose is that turning cannot be done in the reverse position (with the spindle turning clockwise). This is Because certain attachments, a chuck for example, would come loose. 2. The cam lock spindle nose has a very short taper which fits into a tapered recess in the back of a faceplate or chuck. A series of cam lock studs projects from the back of the faceplate or chuck. These cam lock studs fit into the hole in the spindle nose. They are locked into position by turning a series of cams. 3. The long (steep) taper key drive spindle nose has a long taper with a key attached and an
