3 forum posts	I have an Axminster APTC 460. The locking mechanism has parts missing, but not sure what. I belive it s very similar to the Emco 8, but not sure about the shape of the bed. Can anyone help please ? Edited By Paul Bell 1 on 03/02/2013 16:41:35 Edited By Paul Bell 1 on 03/02/2013 16:44:28

The tailstock is likely held by the bristol lever acting against the gib strip. the nut on top of the tailstock base is probably only used when setting the tailstock over for tapers. Bob its an old lathe so unlikely to be on Grizzleys site. Edited By JasonB on 03/02/2013 17:41:59

3 forum posts	Thanks Jason, Bob. The photo make sense, as the Bristol lever on the quill lock is missing from mine too. I just couldn't see any other sensible way to lock it.
