While cleaning up the recently purchased used RF-30 I discovered an R-8 collet would not go in past the pin. I got a telescoping gage up into the bore above the drive pin and the bore checked at 0.950". The collet tolerance is 0.9490" to 0.9495". So I concluded that the drive pin stuck out too far. I removed the quill and the spindle and repaired this problem. Has anyone else ever had this problem with the RF-30? I have had it on a Bridgeport once.
