Hi folks, first post:
I have a Cummins 7x12, and ever since the cam lock mod ages ago the tailstock slips badly enough that I pretty much can't use it for drilling. I think it's a cam travel range issue. I shimmed with a washer but since the plate only fits one way, the shim does nothing if it's equal to one thread pitch. I'm wondering about the best fix - if maybe the best bet might be to cut the M10 bolt off and drill the plate and use a separate nut, or if it's some other issue I should look into.
