I had an old narrow scraper or maybe it was a depth gouge that I ground the side off at an angle. Works very well and allows for a dove tail recess with no problem from the live center. The end is...

There is a bolt under the headstock that is used to hold it in place for shipping. Perhaps that has finally worked itself tight. Also I guess you have tired this but is the slot under the headstock...
