      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.

      Jason AllenSep 2, 2025
      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.

      Frank PorterAug 31, 2025
      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.

      William GrayAug 25, 2025
      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 is making a lot of noise?
    • B
      baldwinmatthewAug 23, 2025
      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.
