I bought an older 10" Ryobi drill press that was hardly used and sat on the guys porch letting the collum rust. Ok so I know it's not a high tech drill press but for $50 it was worth it. (I have a drill press for the precision work.) I can't get it to drill a clean hole thru metal. I've adjusted the quill screw, put a new 1/2" JT-33 chuck on and leveled the table. When I put a 90 degree straight edge, on a chucked up transfer punch, I get about 1/8" gap. Tomorrow I'll pull the chuck off and set up a dial gage on the JT-33 spindle mount. Any suggestion what else I might try? Been making a tool tray this evening and just have to add a border so things don't roll off.
