I have seen within some posts the issue that folks couldn't get their collets into the quill shaft socket because there is a set screw in the socket that is maladjusted on some new machines just out of the crate. I searched the site to try to find a reference to that today without success. So I thought I would start a new thread with that as the subject in order that some other person doesnt waste time trying to find it.
Here is a photo of the collar. (BTW, the head of the mill is rotated down for moving.) Notice the collar has a setscrew locking it into place.
Remove the setscrew and use a spanner to remove the collar. NOTE: It is left hand threads!
Once you get the collar off, you can then adjust the R8 setscrew within the depth parameters for your collets or other R8 spindles as needed.
