i'm having some issues with my small drill press. i dont know the exact size of the tool but it sits on the shop bench; typical smaller drill press made you-know-where. i dont know the brand; they are probably all the same anyway. something with a "T" :confused:
its actually drills a very good hole despite its shortcomings.
the problems i am having are:
1. it has started making a loud noise when i release the chuck/spindle up after drilling a hole. its a dry-rotating type noise.
2. the chuck is starting to get a little difficult to tighten/loosen.
i think it needs to come apart but i am not too sure how to pull this little thing part. i can take apart/put together a full size delta but this thing came mostly assembled and without disassembly/assembly instructions.
i dont even know if this chuck has a tapered wedge or what (?)
i kinda feel dumb and dont want to tear into it without knowing what is involved.
sorry for my rambling post.
