I used the drill press in the woodshop today. The spring that holds up the arbor is either broke or is not connected. The arbor stays in the down position until you crank it up. It looked like it may be a coil spring. There is one end that sticks out of the spring housing and it had no tension on it…

Drill press broke

Already known issue.

I don’t know how long it’s been this way but the quill return spring is broken or disengaged. I did not take it apart to fix it.
