Powermatic 3268001 Tailstock Quill Handle

Product Description

The POWERMATIC 3268001 is a replacement tailstock quill handle designed for use on Powermatic lathes. The tailstock quill handle controls the extension and retraction of the quill on the tailstock assembly, allowing the operator to advance or withdraw a center, drill bit, or other tooling during turning operations. This is an OEM-style replacement part intended for maintenance and repair by machinists, woodturners, and shop technicians who need to restore full function to a lathe tailstock after wear or damage to the original handle.

This handle is used on the tailstock assembly of a Powermatic lathe. It is suited for shop environments where the tailstock quill is operated frequently, leading to wear on the handle over time. Replacement of this part restores precise manual control of quill travel and is a straightforward repair for any technician familiar with lathe disassembly.
