Your Porter-Cable Power Tool drill bit may be burning due to several reasons: incorrect speed, chips not coming out of the hole, a dull drill bit, feeding too slowly, or lack of lubrication. To resolve this, change the speed, retract the drill frequently to clear chips, resharpen the drill bit, increase the feed rate to allow the drill to cut, or lubricate the drill bit.
What to do if my Porter-Cable PCB660DP is making a lot of noise?
If your Porter-Cable Power Tool is operating noisily, it could be due to incorrect belt tension, a dry spindle, a loose spindle pulley, or a loose motor pulley. Try the following: adjust the belt tension, lubricate the spindle, check the retaining nut on the spindle pulley and tighten if necessary, and tighten the set screw in the motor pulley.
Why does my Porter-Cable PCB660DP Power Tool drill bit have excessive runout or wobble?
Excessive drill bit runout or wobble in your Porter-Cable Power Tool can be caused by a bent drill bit, worn bearings, a drill bit not properly installed in the chuck, or the chuck not properly installed. Try replacing the drill bit, replacing the bearings, or properly installing the drill bit or chuck.
What to do if my Porter-Cable PCB660DP Power Tool drill bit binds in the workpiece?
If the drill bit binds in the workpiece when using your Porter-Cable Power Tool, it could be due to the workpiece pinching the drill bit, excessive feed pressure, or improper belt tension. Support or clamp the workpiece, or adjust the belt tension.
What to do if my Porter-Cable PCB660DP workpiece torn loose from hand?
If the workpiece is torn loose from your hand while using the Porter-Cable Power Tool, it is likely not supported or clamped properly. To fix this, support or clamp the workpiece.
How to prevent wood splinters on the underside when using my Porter-Cable Power Tool?
To prevent wood splinters on the underside when using your Porter-Cable Power Tool, use backup material under the workpiece.
Why is the chuck of my Porter-Cable Power Tool not staying attached to the spindle?
If the chuck of your Porter-Cable Power Tool will not stay attached to the spindle, it may be due to dirt, grease, or oil on the tapered inside surface of the chuck or on the spindle’s tapered surface. Clean the tapered surface of the chuck and spindle with a non-alcohol based cleaner to remove all dirt, grease, and oil.
Why my Porter-Cable Power Tool has run out of drill bit point or drilled hole not round?
If your Porter-Cable Power Tool has run out of drill bit point or drilled hole not round, it may be due to grain in wood or lengths of cutting flutes and/or angles not equal, or a bent drill bit. Resharpen the drill bit correctly, or replace the drill bit.
Why does the quill on my Porter-Cable PCB660DP return too slow or too fast?
The quill on your Porter-Cable Power Tool may return too slowly or too fast because the coil spring has improper tension. To correct this, adjust the spring tension.
Why is my Porter-Cable Power Tool making a noisy operation?
If your Porter-Cable Power Tool is making unusual noises, several factors could be the cause. It might be due to incorrect belt tension, which requires adjustment. The spindle may be dry and in need of lubrication. Another potential issue is a loose spindle pulley, so check the tightness of the retaining nut on the pulley and tighten it if necessary. Finally, a loose motor pulley could be the culprit; in this case, tighten the set screw in the motor pulley.
