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.
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
It guides your drill so that it doesn't drill off center. Drilling into a flat surface with a standard drill is not going to work or in the rare occasion it does will atleast give u a headache trying.
Although a lathe can bore and drill, it is actually associated with turning. A drilling machine is associated with drilling, a milling machine with milling, and a boring mill with boring.

On a pedestal drill the workpiece is static and the drill is in a vertical position and rotates. On a lathe the workpiece rotates but not the drill, and the drill is in a horizontal position.
It doesn't.
Centre lathe can use for friction welding.
A lathe that measures 6 inches from the center of the spindle to the closest part of the bed is considered a lathe with a 12 inch swing.
Drilling centre and guided drilling get your hole in precisely the correct place.
