I have an older grizzly floor standing drill press - 17" i think. Its pretty heavy duty and has done well for me the past few years.
Was drilling some metal the other day and the entire arbor section fell down. This is the part that the chuck is attached to that connects up into the machine. I think i heard something break and then it dropped. Before i start taking this thing apart i'm wondering if this happens after many years and there is a reasonable fix without me starting to remove everything to get into the guts.
If i were to guess its the spring mechanism on the side that must have a steel spring that broke off....
Appreciate any help if someone has been thought this before.
Thanks!
