Hi Tom

Squire you said ?? I said ??? oooohhh jep

Tom square is the word, like with 4 corners you know, the same as
rectangle, just a bit shorter on the long side, G.

Squire on the other hand is a high class farmer, he wouldn't hold your
tailstock I think.

Yes I know I'm almost perfect, well I'm trying, don't hold your breath
though.

Have fun and take care

What's a 'Squire' spacer Leo? I just Googled the term and came up zilch. I
could use one for the same reason.

Hi Meshel

Yes I have heard that some people have had that problem with the Jet, the
easy fix apparently is to make a heavier rectangle or squire spacer to
replace the washer that is under the tailstock and the tailstock will not
budge after you make that upgrade again.

I actually get along pretty well with that door, not too much of an
issue (not an easy thing, but manageable)

What I have a problem with is the Tail stock of the Jet. When I try to
tighten the live center into the work, the minute some pressure starts,
the tail stock starts moving away - no matter how much I tighten the
lever that holds it to place...
