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.
To adjust the quill-shaft screw, do these steps:
1. Unplug the drill press.
2.
Clean and lubricate the quill shaft with a
thin coat of light oil, and make sure the
quill travels freely. See
Figure 22.
3.
Loosen the jam nut. See
Figure 23.
4.
Turn the quill-shaft screw clockwise or
counterclockwise to establish free, unbind-
ing travel while moving the quill up and
down through its entire range of travel.
5.
When the quill-shaft screw is screwed
inward against the quill as far as the screw
can go without binding the quill, hold the
screw and tighten the jam nut.
6.
Recheck for quill binding and looseness
while moving the quill up and down
through its entire range of travel and
re-adjust as required.
