Is there supposed to be a spherical washer on the right hand side?





Is the "1" a Spherical washer?
Is there a retaining ring at this location "2"?

The washer is deformed.

The washer is deformed. NO

The washer is a 'spring/wave washer. It allows the quill lock to hold against the return spring, yet allow adjusting the quill when it is snug, but, not tight.

Start here, click on the link at the bottom for links to the rest of the reassembly.

Thanks for the link.


For the spherical washer, do I have any alternative to buy from local hardware store?

Probably not. I have never seen one other than in a ss.

A couple of 3/4" washers might work. Need to file a notch for the woodruff key to clear.

Are these sometimes referred to as wavey washers.

I believe a 'spring' washer is a washer with a single wave.







BTW the motor pan and floor been duly searched? When the quill shaft is 'pulled', 'it' drops into the pan.









Now as for the 'washer' in the quill, . . . . . . Top hat???:D

Do you mean a self aligned domed washer?

Close, but not quite. The ss washer is less precision. The radius does not extend to the periphery. It is a 'stamped' part.
