Hello,
I have an R2e3 that when the quill is ~1/2 down I can turn the outer part of the quill(the chromed part) back and forth about 2 degrees. Is this anything to worry about? If so what would I do to fix this.
I sometimes get strange surface finishes with this mill and maybe this is why.
Thanks for any replies.

I think the only thing that restrains it is the arm that actuates the limit switches

Thanks for that,
Do you have the manuals for this model by any chance? I have the operating, programming and maintenance but not the repair manual.
