Frank/Greyeyes The tapered area is smooth and has roughly the same spec frank give. The reason there is no enough space for collar is because he didn't drive the spindle all way down(the 1st picture of mine shows the upper collar has about 1.5" from the quill end. I would guess, by doing so...

Hi Frank, this is extremely well said suggestion. so I go ahead and use this setup to measure the runout(attached). the tapered area does has around 0.1mm(.039inch) run out, vs <.01mm around the middle section. Does this mean this spindle is hosed and I need to look for new one? Thanks

I got it all apart now except the chuck now. Yes I drive it to a point I can fit in my largest puller to push the spindle out, then using a slide hammer to take out the bearings (all from harbor freight). Question regarding the bearings, they are labelled as Norma xf121pp made in USA. Are those...

This is a great news that you have the collar available. So far no luck to make the bearings to slide out from either side, and the process of hammering it out is real slow so I will spend some more time tomorrow. Thanks

Update: I hit it pretty hard and it starts to move a bit now. But it is the spindle along the inner race bearing movement, not the quill side:-(

The collar is sliding fine. Quill is stuck and I have tried to hit the splined end with rubber mallet and it doesn't budge guess I will try harder. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Frank for the welcome. I believe(or hope) it is the latter. The drill works but just wobbles a tiny bit(less than 1/16 inch?, I don' have the runout gauge). Here is photo of spindle assembly (attached). The quill is stuck in the wrong location, presumable because the lower bearing cannot...

Hi I find this thread as I don't know a lot about drill press in general and just accidentally get a 100 series (103.24810) as my first drill press due its sturdy looking! But it turned out not a such good purchase as it wobble a bit on the drill bit Long story short. Went through manyof posts...
