Finally found youre video about that problem.. Same problem

[@michaelrobinson9643]

The only way to alter deflection with the set screw is to remove the quill because it has a square head that fits in the keyway. You can tighten it a half turn which will push it against the quill firmly and reduce L-R quill movement. Grinding the head round like a pin that is perfectly fit to the keyway is actually FAR better for offering an adjustable control for quill wobble while still being an anti-rotation key.

It's so interesting and useful for me. Thank you!

[@twalsh1490]

Thanks! Just picked up a 20 year old drill press which turns out to have a noticeable runout problem. Looking forward to following your method.

So what was the actual problem that was fixed

[@jeremykemp3782]

very good video

[@WayneCook306]

That is NOT the correct way to set that adjusting screw, It has a flat spot and you need to remove the quill to adjust it..

[@chrisrschroeder]

Can you describe the correct way to remove the quill and make the adjustment or provide a link?

[@markkoons7488]

Bought a 20" Taiwanese drill press third hand. As with other used drill presses, dirt, loose fasteners, and rotted rubber were behind 95% of the problems. It would be nice to know how to clean, lube and adjust chucks, too, wouldn't it?

[@jimgresham5529]

Yeah right, if you don't fix it a bolt won't fit in the holes.

[@jeremykemp3782]

I would have liked to see if there would be any total run-out with the press extended out fully.

[@michaelklaman7394]

What is the name of the solvent you used to remove the corrison from the arbor of the drill press?

[@altimmons]

I’ve been trying to fix mine for a while. Mine is not new. And it’s second hand. But it’s what I’ve got for now. It used to have a little wobble. Now it has a ton. I cannot figure out where it’s coming from.

[@jimgresham5529]

Just how precise does a round hole gotta be ? Your building a nuclear reactor right ?

[@michaell7877]

Where did you get that stand (dial indicator) for the gauge?

[@deanmiller9039]

Ahhh, am I missing something here? Started out with 9 thou runout, then cleaned it all up and ended up with 9 thou runout which you were happy with. Thus the runout procedure accomplished nothing?

[@grooooved]

Yes, you're missing something.

[@valuedcustomer9614]

Watch it again. He said run-out improved from 9.0 to 0.5 one-thousandths/inch.

[@Hoaxer51]

I think what you really want to show is .009, nine thousandths and .005, five thousandths. What you’re showing is 9.0= 9 inches and .5 is a half an inch. Edit: After rewatching the video, he said he had it to one half a thousandths witch is .0005.
