The truth is, I move in and out of drill press mode so frequently that I hardly ever lock it down.

OKAY, I'm ready - give it to me.

How many times has it 'Fallen out of vertical mode'.

We aim to please!!!!!:eek:

Also, I hardly ever use that screw. When in vertical position, the weight of the table and headstock keep it from falling. However, when using the OPR, I always hand tighten that screw. Go figure! - as this use is actually more resistant to falling than a normal drilling. Guess it's just an inconsistent operation, that has become a habit.

I wondered why it was like that, now I know. Thanks:)
