Engineering lathes frequently utilize a tailstock, often referred to as a foot stock, which provides essential support to the longitudinal rotary axis of a workpiece undergoing machine operations. This device is primarily employed to stabilize the workpiece, ensuring precise control and accuracy during machining processes. In addition, tailstocks are also used on lathes to securely hold drilling or reaming tools in place for effectively creating holes within the work piece.
