Hey guys. I've been trying desperately to figure out how to make a cam-lock for my Craftsman 101 6x18 lathe tailstock and for the life of me, I cannot figure it out. I can't wrap my head around how to make the eccentric portion push up the piece that goes inside the TS. One problem may be the hole I drilled in the TS is too loose and out-of-round, but I don't know at this point. None of the sites I see about camlocks say anything about requiring a tight-fitting hole.
So, I have decided to throw in the towel and ask H-M for help. Anyone have some ideas, prints, etc.?
