Such a vexing situation Vanessa when I bought my drill I had the chuck let go a few times releasing the spinning unit in a dangerous way. I was just lucky the drill press had a hollow quill so I fitted a draw bar never had that problem again. Fiiting new bearings at purchase time, changed the motor over as well to a known 1hp aussie one another step for me this plus an X Y movement vice and I use drill point drills as well runs like a clock after 20 plus years. Sorry to go into this detail there are heaps of other considerations living so far away I am not familiar with Brand names currently in your country. There is a lot to be thought of buying a drill.

[QUOTE="Penpal, post: 209031, member: 122"] Such a vexing situation Vanessa when I bought my drill I had the chuck let go a few times releasing the spinning unit in a dangerous way. I was just lucky the drill press had a hollow quill so I fitted a draw bar never had that problem again. Fiiting new bearings at purchase time, changed the motor over as well to a known 1hp aussie one another step for me this plus an X Y movement vice and I use drill point drills as well runs like a clock after 20 plus years.
