Tail stock wobble


 

My tail stock has a serious wobble in it, from rear right to front left. Causing it to center differently depending on how tight I tighten the lock screw. The tip of the live center moves ~1/8 of an inch.

I considered sanding/lapping for a better fit; but I don't want to sand/lap away the lathe bed in the process.

Ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Also, is there a mod for making the side-to-side adjustment of the tail stock easier? I mean really, who decided one of the screws should be on the bottom?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy
