The tailstock barrel on the Wade CAV was square, and available with either a centre formed on the end, or a ready-fitted tailstock chuck. Because the tailstock was cast in one piece, it could not be offset for taper turning; to get round this the makers offered a centre mounted in a slot on the T-shaped end of a special barrel.

The large wheel at the end of the bed turned the internal leadscrew - its handle is of the type fitted to later machines.
