PM935 Power Down Feed Trouble

[bretthl]

I was drilling a series of small holes using the power down feed. It suddenly stopped working. By that I mean the engagement lever will not stay in the power feed position as show below. As long as the lever is held to the left the down feed works. When I turn loose the lever snaps to the right and the quill returns to zero. Is there an adjustment that I need to make or is something broken?

Turned out to be a minor adjustment. The trip plunger (round pin shown below) was not letting the lock pin from the T-Block to get a firm grip. You can see where it has become egged from sliding in and out.

I lowered the lock pin with the adjustment screw at the base of the lock pin. Back in business!
