I was turning a pen yesterday and the tailstock started to creep...
I tightened the lock handle more and resumed turning, it was Corian and I was roughing it out...
Stopped the lathe, removed tail stock, inspected for whatever would do this, played with the lock...
Used a 11/16" box wrench and tightened the nut 1/2 turn. Installed tail stock and continued to finish pen with no more creeping...
Will this work for all [?] I don't know... Solved my creeping problem... [8D]
