** Trying to lower or raise the table on the drill press is difficult as the rail has buckled. (Please be as specific as possible):**

Please remember that VOLUNTEERS will be helping to resolve this issue. While everyone works very hard to fix things quickly, sometimes things take time. Please consider Volunteering to help keep everything working well in our makerspace!

Did you unlock the red clamp lever on the left side of the post- opposite the crank? This MUST BE UNLOCKED before moving the table.

I will be in tomorrow to look at this.

The rack on the side is bent, and i don’t know if it can be straightened. As a temporary fix, i put a couple of wire ties on the rack. The drill press is usable, but please use the tool with care.
