Union Graduate Tail Stock disassembly

[deema]

I’d really appreciate advice on how to take apart the Union Graduate tail stock. I can’t figure out how to get the retaining collar; item 6, out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There is a very small hole in the top of of the collar but I can’t see or ‘feel’ a grub screw or anything in it. It equally doesn’t appear to be threaded.

Hi Deema, the hole you mentioned is an oil hole. There is also a hole at the back of the tailstock hand wheel. Turn it until the hole is at 12 o'clock. this gives access to the screw you need to remove to free the c shaped locator. Tudor

Thanks, really appreciate you taking the time to help. I found the screw......it was buried under sawdust and I hadn’t seen it lurking in the end. Without your help I wouldn’t have ever found that screw.
All apart now. Cheers.
