I've had trouble with the M2 taper in the headstock of my Teknatool TL1200 forever.
Brother arrived tonight with suitable reamer and _ VOILA!!A tiny thread of metal about as fine as kitchen steel wool was all it took to make life a misery!

I had similar problem with my scroll chuck not running true. Just had to wipe out the threads on the headstock to remove some gunk that had built up in the threads, and all was good. I now make this part of my routine when cleaning down the lathe.
