Hello all, I have an adjustable mandrel that I bought from Ed at Exotic Blanks and the chuck gets stuck in the headstock and really grips the mandrel not allowing me to move it easily. I've had to stick a rod in the open end of the head stock and tap it to get it loose enough to adjust. That works but is a little time consuming, is there a better way? Am I doing something wrong? I even tried not tightening the collet and that helps having only to tap the open end while the headstock is still in the lathe but the downside to only tightening the collet hand tight is that the mandrel walks out of the tailstock in towards the headstock while turning for a few minutes.
Thanks,
Kirk
