[TheForge] Jet tailstock disassembly?

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Jerry,

It wasn't the threads that were tight. It was where the movable jaw made 
contact with the frame. I had to remove the sliding jaw and sand the tight 
spots on the frame. It was a pretty easy fix once I decided to take it 
apart. There were two screws holding a plate to the bottom and a roll pin 
connecting it to the main screw.

Bob: for things like tight or rough vise threads, lubing it with valve
grinding compound will smooth the works nicely. Rinse thoroughly when
done of course.
