Hello,

There seems to be a problem with this Okuma Captain L370M, the live tools are weak, sometimes a drill bit gets stuck while drilling 12 mm holes on soft steel, for instance. The live tooling power head and the rear driver pinion gear are ok, no wear at all, however, I believe the system might have some sort of a spring loaded clutch, between the gear and the power head, which might be slipping, that's all I can think of while looking at it from the rear with the turret's cover off. A similar machine works ok under the same conditions, in the same shop.

The machine does not alarm, it just makes more noise than usual and the bit gets stuck (stopped).

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.
