Woodfast 280 midi lathe Trail stock issues
I have attached a couple of pictures.
I am having trouble with the tailstock when applying lateral pressure with the hand wheel. As you can see the Circlip keeps popping out any thoughts would be appreciated.

If the circlip keeps coming suggest the following
- clean out the circlip groove
- use some circlip pliers to expand the clip
- replace the circlip.

Yeah, check the groove, also the circlip might be stretched. I see it's an internal circlip what you can do is to gently expand it with the pliers to increase the pressure when locking it into the groove.
