Why does the tailstock move on my Wen LA3424 when locked?
If the tailstock moves when locked and pressure is applied on your Wen Tools, it may be because the cam lock nut needs adjusting, so tighten the cam lock nut. Another reason might be that the lathe bed and tailstock mating surfaces are greasy or oily.
