Hello,
I purchased my first Grizzly machine. The drill press vibrates when drilling. I was drilling a 3/4 hole, well secured. The pilot holes had a similar shudder. I tried another (Jacobs) chuck, no change. Speed, 640 mild steel, 3/4 bit. Faster on pilots.
The spindle is true, I checked the fasteners to all the obvious points. It’s more of harmonic resonance than vibration.
Is it because of the light framing?
If I secure it to the concrete will it improve?
I am unable to upload a pic (unable to attach file, try again later) from this site.
