Hi all,

i have what is probably a very stupid question. I have a Warco GH1236 lathe and I can’t get the dead centre close enough to engage with the workpiece. Even with the tail stock fully extended it is about 60mm too far away. I can’t slide it any further forward as it is prevent from moving further forward by the saddle. It does not help that the DRO reader is on the side of the saddle and restricts how close the tail stock can get but even without this it would fall short. If I move the saddle forward I am unable to machine to the end of the workpiece.

i have attached a picture to show the gap. Here the tool is positioned so as to be able to machine from the end of the workpiece allmost right to the Chuck. While the photo seems to some a bit of a gap between the tail stock and the saddle this is as close as it gets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to get a longer dead centre or an extension?

Thanks

Sacha
