Is there anything that would create and overly tight condition where the

If the setscrew that locks the bearing cap on the nose of the quill is
too tight it distorts the quill. If your quill is tight for the first
inch of stroke this is likely the problem - if it's tight thru its
entire travel, it's something else.

Ned,

It's pretty snug throughout the entire length of travel but indeed, I do
feel more friction at the beginning of the feed. I'll take a crack the
setscrew. How tight would you recommend I set it?

Thanks!
