I have a Jet mini lathe that I have been using as a buffing station with the Beale buffing system.
I tried to remove the buffing system shaft and it will not come out of the lathe drive. I have beat the extraction tool with a mallet until the threads on the extension tool knob have stripped.
I am thinking about taking a torch to the external drive threads hoping to heat it enough so it will expand and loosen up so the shaft will come out.
Before I do that I am hoping someone else has had this problem and knows a better way to solve it.
