The subject says it all. Is this a difficult adjustment?

I'd be forever greatful if someone could offer some help.

Thanks!


Its simply a pair of brass bushings that have a half moon in each to
pull together when you tighten up the lock lever. They pull up tight
and"clamp" the quill. When they are worn..simply put a washer under
the head of the clamp lever to take up the wear.

A friend of mine makes absolutely marvelous replacement quill locks
that are adjustable, have a built in friction spring so they stay
where you leave em and so forth.

$55 each, shipping included

Hmmm...how do you remove the quill lock? I'm not at the machine at the
moment, and I don't remember an obvious was to remove the lock lever. I
recall a captive nut on the rear.

Thanks!
