Fitting Mini Lathe Tailstock Arbors - Rob's Garage

Just a few minutes of video discussing and showing how I fitted various MT2 tailstock arbors to my Optimum TU2004v mini lathe. Surprisingly to a novice, these things never seem to fit properly out of the box and need to be modified to release and to gain maximum workspace on your tiny lathe.
I'm unsure if this also applies to the Sieg type lathes, but someone may tell us in the comments.
