I would add that the single bolt to be 'tight' be just snugged up rather than tightened. Snugging it creates a .pivot point, but it needs to be pivoted. Snugging it allows the pivot desired, and allows pivoting without too much force. If drilling anything,( especially with large bits) do NOT hold by...

The Mark VII had the melting speed control cam problem and power switch failure which resulted in many being scrapped etc. The power pro headset will provide a solution to that problem IF there are any out there not yet 'scrapped'. The value of used Mark VII will increase due to the ability to repla...

Is your calling the PowerPro version Model 530 a speculation or "has it been written"? My $ is on speculation. I agree with its likelihood!(reason for 'hold' not "530"). Here's a question for discussion: if the PowerPro head will run in both directions like the Mark VII motor di...
