Hi
Im having issues with my tailstock it locks up sometimes and is a pain to sort.
I want to take the tail stock apart to take a better look. Can anyone help?

Hi
Don't have MD65 but the tailstock is a relatively simple piece of kit, the quill is very similar to a drill, has a key slot running it's length and a peg in the casting prevents it from rotating, take it off the machine and strip it, it should be fairly easy to see the problem.
