I have a Bridgeport clone machine ( https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/M607D) and noticed tonight when using the quill power feed the quill was bouncing up/down about 1-2mm when doing light cuts with a boring head. Movement could be seen on the quill handle side with the handle shaft moving up/down 1-2mm. Never seen this before and machine is only 1 year old with probably less than 30 hours of light use( Hobby use).
Was late so I stopped using it, will look at it tomorrow but just seeing if there were any ideas as to what could have happened. Don't really want to start pulling things apart till I've got an idea of what's wrong. I would say a bearing on the handle side of the quill feed shaft had gone, but looking at the parts drawing there is no bearing or bush on that side.
Hoping someone can give me an idea. :idea: Thanks
