Does a FEIN core drill require maintenance?
Question:
Does a FEIN core drill require maintenance?
Answer:
Yes, the machine should be blown out regularly and cleared of chips.
Check the coolant system for flow and blockages. Keep the magnetic surface flat and clean.
The dovetail guide must also be lubricated and readjusted regularly.
To do this, briefly loosen the worm screws on the drill stand, loosen them with a rubber mallet, and then tighten the worm screws again.
Make sure that the drill motor of the core drilling machine is at the same height as the worm screw that is to be retightened.
The dovetail guide is correctly adjusted when the drill motor does not slide down on its own and the feed can be carried out with a comfortable amount of force.
