Again continuing from "head swapping"...
Problem no.3
The quill lever is quite stiff to operate, actually have to engage arm muscles to move it down!
Spoke to the guys who had this mill before us (though it has been out of use for over a year and stored in a facilities basement baking under hot pipes) and they said it was always a little stiff.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this? On Bridgeports I've used before the quill lever operates pretty effortlessly.
Thanks, Matt
