Answer: Maintenance of drill press
Very little maintenance is required to keep your drill press in fine working order, but, if adjustments are necessary, follow the guidelines below:
1. Spindle side-play can be minimized by adjusting the locknut located on the left side of the motor unit 1-1/2 inches behind the spindle and towards the bottom of the motor unit. While moving the feed handle up and down, tighten the lock nut until the play is minimized, but not so tight so as to restrict free movement of the spindle. The spindle should return by itself to the full up position.
