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 ?

Can you post a few pictures of your lathe tailstock as its not a current model on Axi site. I used to have an Emcomat 8.6 so should know what should be there.

Go to the Grizzly.com web site the will call the machine by a different name but you should recognise the picture, then download a decent manual, It is an american site so very heavy on health and safety.
Good luck

Found a picture and its a different bed profile.

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.

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.
