At full extension there is some play in my FobcoStar, it measures 0.22mm on a dial gauge. If I lock the quill in the head at full extension this drops to unnoticeable but measurable at .02-0.05mm on a dial gauge. From this I think this play is coming from how the quill rides in the head not how the spindle rides in the quill. Both of these play takes some pressure to achieve, as you can see in the video the whole drill is moving somewhat relative to the camera.In operation there is very little runout in my drill and it’s never given me any accuracy issues in my woodwork.Fitz
