[7x12minilathe] Thread Cutting - Can I Remove to Test Fit?

 

Cutting some external threads.  Short piece and the only way I could set up to get the cutting tool in position (to avoid hitting the chuck jaws) was to mount between two centers.  So, how to test fit?


Can I pull the tailstock back to test fit, then put tailstock back in position and cut some more?  Do I have to make sure the work piece is in the same relative position to the faceplate?  Or, other technique?  Or, is it a "no can do"?
