Hi, this is Mark from ereplacementparts.com. In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove and replace the spindle in a drill press. The spindle is the part of the drill press that actually rotates the chuck and it's located inside the quill. The spindle can become bent if the drill press is overloaded. Also, there are two bearings that connect the quill to the spindle. If those bearings fail, you'll need to remove the spindle to replace them and I'm going to show you how to do that.

Okay, now we can move on to that inner nut. I want to back it off but not all the way. You'll notice on the press right here, there's a little lip and that lip fits onto a notch. These two together are what are holding the tension on that spring. You'll...
