I spent a little time with my new drill press tonight. I tried squaring the table 90 degrees to the spindle. I noticed the table was a tad bit off so that's what brought this all on. So I took a square and snugged it against the drill chuck and then checked square to the table. It was off in multiple directions. So, I tried adjusting the table. No luck. So I took a dial indicator and checked things out. Turns out the drill chuck spins about .002 out of true. I removed the chuck and found the spindle itself to be roughly .0005 out of round, which I thought was pretty good. When I put the chuck back on, the .002 runout returns. Is there anything I need to do to properly install the drill chuck? I'm not sure of the taper. Or, is this good for a drill press and just go to bed and sleep like a baby?
The drill press model is Clausing Series 16sc.
