I have an old Drill press that has slope in the spindle.
I can feel slope when grabbing and moving upper part of the spindle
that comes out of pulley top.

I dissassembled spindle to check for wear. Spindle grooves look perfect
to me.
Here is my question: how worn spindle should look like?

Can it be that it's a worn sleeve causing slope not a spindle?

Thanks!

Are you referring to the quill as the spindle? Most quills have a Morse
Taper milled in them. Maybe you can post a pic or two on
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking???
