Grizzly Drill Press G7948

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone out there has any experience with the center pully
being mis-aligned on the Grizzly G7948 drill press. I'm new to woodworking
and am having problems getting rid of the vibration in my drill press. The
center pully has a wobbleof around one eighth. This causes a horrible wobble
at higher speeds. I've looked at the center pully and don't see how I can
fix the wobble with out taking the whole top off.

help.

TIA

JD

Yes I had the same problem - the hole for the center idler was mis drilled
and there was no was to "adjust" or fix w/o redrilling. Also the belts
supplied were horribly lumpy and caused/contributed to massive vibration.
Returned unit for replacement, but the new belts were no better and had to
buy some decent quality belts.
