When I put my #2 morse taper pen mandrel in my jet midi lathe and turn it on, I have some wobble in the end. Not a lot, but enough to plainly see. I have three new mandrels (woodcraft, rockler, and arizona silhouette)and they all do the same thing. When I bring the tailstock up and lock it in place the wobble seems to move to the middle of the mandrel. The tailstock is far from to tight and the knurled knob is not tightened. The headstock and the tailstock of the lathe line up perfectly and there does not seem to be any play in the headstock. I think I put everything in there. Can anyone give me any pointers?????
