Just received the 10" DP with lasers. Have found that there is .007 runout at the bit. Is this due to a bad chuck? Do I need to replace it.

I found all my runout (more than you) to be in the spindle. I emailed WEN customer support and they are sending me a new spindle. I hope that swapping it out will get me the results many others have had. I have many MT#2 tapers and chucks that all run true, so if the spindle is correct, everything else should fall into place.

Mine had a fair bit of runout as well. Nothing I tried fixed it. I have a Grizzly that I have installed many in and never had this issue. I didn't try the Wen one on the grizzly before sending it back.

Not sure why that would be? without looking at the drill press. But if you drilling requirement are that critical, I would go with a larger or heavier type drill press. This press is made for the hobbyist, but still should be accurate. I did not have that problem with the unit that I have purchased.

I could only find squarehead and drywall screws locally at HD and could only buy the special long bits from the local makita service center, (30mins away) they have an extra long peice on the hex end past the ball indent ,so standard bits dont fit in the gun. I ended up returning mine as it just wasnt well enough supported locally to make all the hassles worth it.

If it is something I have a fear of stripping out as it fully tightens, I will start with a lower setting and see how it goes at the start... you can always adjust for more torque but too late after you strip the hole larger. Keep in mind that with this tool, even at the highest torque you can always let go of the trigger or pull the tool off the screw if it starts to scare you about stripping etc. Low RPMs so time to correct things before it's too late. Plus, you can lock the drive and use only human power for the last bit of tightness if you want... Nice tool tool by the way, just ordered a replacement for the same one I have had for many years. Old one only needed a new battery, but whole tool with new gold higher capacity battery and charger is only about five bucks more than just a new gold battery..... !!

planetmike, if you have a drill motor; electric, or battery operated, you can carefully seat the boresite into the chuck and tighten it down just enough so that it will not come out. make sure that the drill motor is secured to the bench-table etc. so that it doesn't move or slide around. if this is done properly your boresite will be centered to itself. turn the site on and slowly allow the drill to spin while projecting the lasr beam onto a wall, screen, etc. and check to see if the laser stays on the same spot. if it does then it's centered. if it doesn't then you'll have to start to adjust the axis of the laser with the small adjustment slots on the lasers side. i have never know of these to be off to where one has to make these adjustments. if you do start to adjust the axis it will take time and patience! good luck. john

For me this is a normal chuck that when you turn the lock nut around the outside the (4) lines on the inside will release, it is possible that the washer that holds those splines together when tightening may have gotten stuck, or bound thermally. This should loosen the bit out of this when loosened. Lefty Loosey.

You might be low on co2..did you put pelloil on the co2 cartridge? mine does that when its on a "last gasp" of gas pressure. if you stored it over night, after shooting 5 shots.. you have a leak somewhere.. if you used the pelloil, or you did not set the cartridge...perfect straight.. hope this helps..after 12k thousand rounds! yikes the original finally quit.. slide locked open, so i got another..at 3k rounds..perfect!

Chuck is 'spring loaded' like most 'hex chuck' tools. It's possible that the bit fell out because it wasn't inserted correctly or it may have been damaged. We have these on site with a Habitat for Humanity build and have used them extensively without problems many times.

I had the same concern and bought extra bits but there are bits that come in the box of screws. I would guess if you bought screws that are compatible with the Camo Marksman Pro X1 it would have the correct bits in with the screws. We bought a few extra bits because we live in a very rural area and if I needed extra it would be a long way for me to go to the store to get some more.

well, the shaft needs to lubricate with grease, but i prefere oil, i reduced with a table drill until fits, its take some time but works, be carefull with the cable string, after a few shots my cut off hiting me in the face and fingers, so wear eye protection, the replacement is sheep. good luck

No, standard bits do not work. Does not have a standard chuck. Only SDS bits fit.

Actually, I have the P5C on my 111 Mill G2. The muzzle is tapered and I've gone round and round trying to get the thing to stay on with the recoil. I've finally just drilled the retainer and put a screw through it further toward the middle of the unit. It's no longer "quick release", but why am I in such a hurry to get it off?

My G29 with a crimson trace has no issues and the laser is on the side. A g29 has a wide slide. If I remember I'll look more closely when I get home and let you know more.

The aim of the laser is adjustable and if the screw has been torqued all the way in the laser might be not lining up with the hole, try holding the barrel close to something semi reflective like a white painted wall and see if you can detect a green glow when you pull the trigger, and if you can see the glow try backing out either screw a couple turns.

I use a RCBS Rock Chucker that I have had for over 30+ yrs. Shouldn't be an issue as I have used other Dies, such as Lee and others.

I haven't used the rifle too much yet, but there shouldn't be too much maintenance. Wiping the gun down after shhoting with a cleaan rag and gun oil will keep the gun looking good for years to come. Occationally lubing the pivot point and chamber as instructed should keep the rifle functioning well. This should just be a few drops every few thousand shots, too much oil will lead to detonations and reduce the rifle life.
