Hi Vinny, as I explained above my tailstock dosn't have the feature of winding back the quill to eject the taper neither does it have a hole through for knocking the taper or anything stuck in it, out.
Looks like one of the first jobs when I get the machine running will be to bore a through hole in the tailstock quill.
