You shouldn't have to use a tailstock with that short of a piece.

I have the same lathes in my school! I hate them, they are beat to shit, stupid freshmen don't know how to use them.

If you read the description you'll see "navy" and "school", both of which implies ultra conservative safety requirements. Put them both together and this is what you get. Sending this guy to a school is an investment, so if the student wrecks himself on the machine then the navy just lost its investment not just for a lathe operator but for whatever other job he was doing

there is no reson to use the tale stock in this case as far as i can see.

Is he friction driving the part? Maybe that's why he using the tailstock.

@AndrewandKevin , this lathe is an excellent machine; it was manufactured by South Bend, in USA 50 or 60 years ago in the golden era. There isn't comparison between chinese lathes and this one.
