G0704 Grinding or rubbing sound when Quill at lowest point.

[USN]

Hey Folks;


I get a grinding or rubbing sound when Quill is at lowest point. I can feel it in the Quill handle when I drill. Its not super bad , but would like to know whats up. The machine runs great with Quill up. Quill travel fells smooth. I did not tear down head, but did pull Motor off. Made sure gears looked ok / grease when I first got the machine.

P.S. I did buy Hoss's DVD, Great stuff, Thanks Hoss....


Thanks Mitch ........

Could be a number of things like an out of place quill retaining clip rubbing the quill wall from the increased spring pressure when it goes down.
