And, while corded versions do have serious power, they don't approach the torque available in a drill press. Most portable drills these days have variable-speed, reversible motors and are designed for driving threaded fasteners as much as boring holes. While a drill press can be thought of as the stationary version of an ordinary handheld portable drill, there are important differences. The tool, of course, is a drill press, and if you don't have one, it's time to look at the reasons why you should. But after all the hype has settled to the showroom floor, you'll find one machine sitting quietly in the corner, doing the same job it has for decades, with little change or help from the marketing team. There's always a new table saw with innovative features, a redesigned compound miter saw with greater capacity and more accuracy than last year's, or a planer that delivers a flatter, smoother surface than ever before.

Somewhere out there is probably a good tutorial on doing this, but these are the basic steps. You will probably find a tone of grease and stuff in there, so have some shop towels ready. Hold onto the spindle, and remove the handle. Now you can safely remove the second 88 nut, and remove the spring housing. To prevent that, keep the quill locked (#100, I think) until after you've released the spring tension. When you do this, the spindle will drop to the stop, so don't be surprised. At this point, removing the screwdriver pressure will probably allow the housing to move off the keys on it's own and release the tension. ![]() Then I finish loosening the nut enough to allow the housing to come off the keys and spin, and the only thing preventing that is you're holding it down with the screwdriver (or whatever else you have handy). ![]() SLIGHTLY loosen the second 88 nut, and then hold the spring housing down with a screwdriver (so it doesn't spin). So looking at the diagram, it looks like the most likely way to get it off is: ![]()
