Correct. The tailstock end was being pushed
away from the cutter and
it was allowed to move

I am confused. If the tailstock end is being
pushed away from the
cutter, wouldn't the tailstock end be bigger?

Yes and that is not the problem. I am pretty
sure it is an
alignment issue.

Then perhaps the bed is twisted?
