With the quill removed,you have access to the entire length for complete rust removal. You can clean up everything on the quill shaft.

The quill spring is in a housing in the quill feed shaft, but unless something indicates a problem with it it need not be gotten into.

With the quill shaft removed, you can rotate the quill feed shaft and determine if it is sticking etc..

If it is sticking, it can be examined for why.

Objective at this point is to assure everything moves freely.

Do not overlook the instruction to not let the quill spring unwind quickly. Allow it to do so by slowly moving the handle back. Also do not move the handle past the spring neutral point.

JPG, I am a bit lazy tonight, so depending on you. Does the MS have a video on this that you can dig up and post for him? I think they do

Yes locked extended is a safe method, but does not allow for checking the quill feed shaft motion. When checking motion, only move it in the forward feed direction. Again do not move it past the spring relaxed(neutral) position.

I realize this can be overwhelming at first, but you want to get things moving correctly before using it.

Thanks. I think this is a good way to go.

One thing that makes me suspect the spring: The quill -extends- smoothly. There is no drag as I turn the lever. So it seems odd that it should be sticky when it 'auto-retracts'. I would assume that if it were just grime,

So... if it's the spring, do you get replacements from ShopSmith... or eBay?

Thanks again!

When you do, many here to help you, go slow and asked first

I dont eat and sleep with them like others here, I would think the spring because when extracted it is under/should be under tension. Is your Quill lock loose? I assume so because if not you would feel that on extension also.

There is a way to wind the spring tighter by a bit, I did mine when I screwed it up, but I dont remember how at the moment an time for bed time. I am sure One of the best will tell youin the morning.
