Tail stock is a part of lathe ,which is used to support the lengthy job.
Tails tock sleeves are used on CNC lathes. It is the equivalent to a tail stock quill on a center lathe but in this case it uses hydraulic pressure to move it in and out of the tail stock. The function of both tail stock sleeve or quill is to clamp the workpiece by means of a center that is inserted into the sleeve or quill. On a center lathe it is used for drilling also but not on a CNC lathe.
Tailstok is the end part of lathe. it is used for holding large work in the lathe and also used for holding tools like drilling and boring etccc
For drilling in a lathe, "Drill Sleeves" also known as "Drill Quills" are used and they are set into the tail stock quill for drilling operations.
The accuracy of a lathe depends on the following:Skill of the machinistWear on the slides and carriagesAlignment of both head and tail stockWear on the main spindle assemblyWear of the tail stock and in some cases the centerTypes and accuracy of the measuring tools used
Taper problems on a lathe can be caused by many things. Below are the most likely possible causes and solutions:Misaligned tail stock- In most cases the tail stock can be realigned with its setting screws- Worn tail stock slides - Send for repairMisaligned Head stock- The head stock can be re-alignedMisaligned bed- The entire machine should be leveled againWorn bed ways- The machine should be sent for regrinding the beds

A dead center is removed by turning the tail stock spindle in a counter-clockwise direction until if feels like it comes to a sudden stop, then it will eject the dead center from the tail stock quill.
The two factors that determine the size of a lathe are the "swing" and "distance between centers". The swing of a lathe is the length measured from the center of the hollow spindle or chuck to the nearest part of the bed multiplied by two. Distance between centers is the distance measured between the chuck and tail stock.
There are various ways for a lathe to hold its workpiece.The workpiece could be held between centers from the spindle and tail stockIt could be gripped in a chuckA faceplate could be used and the workpiece is screwed, bolted or clamped to it.
All lathes could be considered "centre lathes." You turn "between centers." There's also a tool called a "machining center," but those are for computerized milling, normally of metal.
A lathe machine is specified by-1.The maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be operated on the machine.2.The distance between the headstock and the tail-stock of the machine.3.The length of bed of the machine.
