What to do if Grizzly G7948 Drill has tool loose or lack of power in spindle?

  daughertymelissaAug 18, 2025
  If you're experiencing a tool loose or lack of power in the spindle of your Grizzly Drill, here are some potential causes and solutions: * The tool might be incorrectly installed in the spindle taper. Remove and reinstall the tool. * There might be debris on the tool or spindle taper mating surfaces. Clean the tool and spindle taper. * You might be taking too big of a cut. Lessen the depth of cut and allow chips to clear. * The V-belts might be loose. Properly tension the V-belts. * The voltage might be wrong. Correct the voltage.

  If you're experiencing a bad surface finish with your Grizzly Drill, consider these potential causes: * The spindle speed might be too fast for the workpiece material. Set the spindle speed correctly. * The cutting tool might be dull or incorrect. Sharpen the cutting tool or select one that better suits the operation. * The rotation direction of the cutting tool might be wrong. Check for proper cutting tool rotation. * The workpiece might not be secure. Properly clamp the workpiece on the table or in a vise. * The spindle might be extended too far down during operation.
