It is me again, with another Q? . for those who are getting familiar already let me tell yuo guys that I already got the tailstock that I was looking for, i bought it on ebay , waiting for it to arrive. i hope this is the good one.
well the nut of the headstock spindle is loosing off from time to time , it is very difficult to find a point where it is tight enough to prevent the spindle to move from left to R and still it is not to tight so the can spindle rotate free.
I am thinking to replace this nut with a double nut so it does not keep loosing, and could be easier to fix at a desired adjustment.
Any thoughts ,advises ??
 
What he said. Mine is just round with the split and the lock screw, no hex or anything. Set it where it belongs, snug the screw.
