While you may never have to adjust the quill-shaft
screw, you should understand its function and know how
to adjust it should you ever need to remove the quill
for cleaning. This screw prevents the quill from rotating
during drilling and sanding procedures, and if adjusted
incorrectly, the quill may have lash or bind.
