Our drill press needs some TLC.
The chuck socket fell off the arbor last night. The chuck was spinning eccentrically just prior. I followed directions on the URL below to reinstall it. I discovered the arbor has been badly scored. I can't figure out how the arbor comes out of the drill press. I didn't attempt to force it out or anything. I just looked at a blurry parts diagram below and did a google search...no luck.
I de-burred the arbor with a fine file and cleaned it with steel wool and acetone. Put the chuck on with a twist and thwack of a wood insulated hammer blow. All of this with the chuck jaws wide open. It spins much more centered but it's not as good as it was just last week.
It's a Ryobi WDP1850:
