Hey guys, I couldn't find much about it in the manual. How do I go about adjusting the X-axis lock, so that the lever isn't at full travel and not really that snug? Thanks

I tried really hard to get mine off and was unable. I tried oxy acetylene heat almost to the point of no return and it didn't work. I'm guessing it is pressed on or pinned and you can't see it or something. Luckliy mine was adjusted nicely. I have seen others extend the shaft so the lever is out past the casting. To adjust you may have to remove the table and adjust the piece that contacts the dovetail. This is one of the only areas I was unsuccessful in disassembling during my rebuild.

Only problem is I can't get mine off either. It hits the casting when rotating CCW as well. Seems like the only way to remove would be to cut it off.

I usually buy them from McMaster Carr but here is a link for Carr Lane.

Most industrial supply companies sell them.
