No. I'm at the point where I'm thinking that I'll have to bring it to a local shop and have them drill it out and then sleeve the hole. I'm a stubborn old Irishman (and frugal) and don't relish the idea of having to do that. I'll continue the Kroil treatment 'til it's gone, then off to the shop!
The previous owner had it set up in an unheated garage, for many years. I think we all know what happens to steel in an environment like that over time. Still, the machine was given to me, no charge, so if I need to spend a couple dollars (or hundred) I'm not complaining. The motor runs smoothly, the spindle/quill assembly has no run out, all in all a nice machine except for this problem.
