Hi Folks,

I purchased the HF 9" Drill Press about a year ago.

The Tension Spring for the feed bar broke, an it looks like I must have lost the spring cap a while back.

I called HF cust service, they said that they do not provide those parts any more.

Any ideas where I could get those parts or some sort of solution ?

Thanks

Perhaps McMaster Carr will have a spring. Try checking out "constant force spring" and see if anything looks about the right size. You might be able to get one of them to work.

The cap you'll probably just need to replace with a piece of scrap sheet metal or something like that.
