look inside the center of the chuck... if the is a bold inside, remove it. then place the short side of a 3/8" allen key into the chuck and tighten the chuck... then smack the allen key from the side with a hammer the same direction as forward rotation...

yes, a bent arbor could be causing this... sometimes they can be straightened... or by a new arbor

there is a "drift pin" that came with the tool, you would need to insert it into the slot and tap on it.

If this is a new tool I would take it back and get it replaced. The only other way to eliminate this problem is to determine if it is the spindle or the chuck and replace the defective unit. Warranty works better.

Hi there,

Unless you have the part in hand, which you could take to a specialized machinery or spring supplier to see if they could match it up, the only other way to get the correct part is to contact ryobi direct and talk to their parts department. They will be able to tell you the part number, and if available, send you one out direct from their warehouses.

Good Luck!

The belt has either come off the pulley or the belt is slipping. Open th top access hatch and check the belts . If belt is off replace and tighten , if it is just loose tighten the belt.If it is not the belt and the motor is humming but not turning you will need to replace the motor's starting capacitor.Good luck and please don't forget to rate this answer, Thanks

When shopping for a drill press, you'll have to choose between two basic models: 1. Bench-top drill presses mount directly to a workbench or on their own stands. Their compact size makes bench-top models good choices for small shops. 2. Floor-model drill presses usually have more powerful motors, more attachments/accessories and greater material handling capacities than bench-tops. The extra versatility makes floor models good choices for serious DIY and commercial shops.
