I have just bought a new drill press, the General International
75-025, and am trying to attach the General International 70-900
mortising accessory to it. Whenever I turn the unit on with the
mortiser installed, it spins a couple of seconds and then the arbor
and chuck fall out of the quill.
I have followed the instructions for installing the arbor and chuck
and the drill works fine with an ordinary bit installed. As far as I
can tell everything is correctly set up. The rather brief instruction
manual contains no trouble-shooting guide.
Is there a way to install the arbor in the quill more positively?
Could there be something wrong with the mortising bit? Alignment?
I would appreciate any help on this as I am new to this kind of setup.
Best Regards,
Jack Fearnley
