After another beer I decided to simply pull the spindle out until the reamer cleared, lock it with the spindle lock screw and then push the whole tailstock assembly toward the reamer.

My tailstock rides on two flat ways, with the locking ways (the ^ shaped ones) underneath...If the ^ ways were on top, gravity would center the tailstock even with the lock unlocked...But since the flat ones are on top, that won't work...

I started stoning the reamer. It didn't need very much, and after 15 minutes of stoning it was cutting like it should. I used plenty of cutting oil and went slowly, reaming, cleaning and reaming again, and after the 10th pass or so it looked really nice. I checked it by inserting an MT2 shank, and it stuck in place just like it should.

I've never done any stoning/sharpening myself; there is a sharpening service nearby but they are $$$...

I celebrated this by having a beer, and I think I'll have another one after posting this!
