 Work Needed: Work Needed:
-  *<del>Replace Belt </del> DONE! 
-  *<del>Replace light bulb (w/LED)</del> DONE! 
-  *<del>Adjust or replace coil spring (quill return seems a bit loose)</del> DONE! (tightened) 
   *Needs additional feed lever arms (has one, currently)   *Needs additional feed lever arms (has one, currently)
     *These are curious. The existing one is something ever so slightly smaller than 1/2" (12mm?), but testing a 1/2" bolt in some of the holes seemed to be a good fit, so we should be able to fabricate or find acceptable replacements.     *These are curious.

     *Suggestion: get a few feet of 1/2" steel rod and thread one end for 1/2", and figure out something for the knobs.     *Suggestion: get a few feet of 1/2" steel rod and thread one end for 1/2", and figure out something for the knobs.
     *simpler solution - get a few feet of 1/2" threaded rod and get 1/2" threaded knobs ($3 each from McMaster or Grainger)     *simpler solution - get a few feet of 1/2" threaded rod and get 1/2" threaded knobs ($3 each from McMaster or Grainger)
-    *<del>Table is loose on the clamp- may just need adjusted?</del> Worked Around! 
-    *Table connector diameter - 1.850", clamp diameter - 1.875" 
-    *Somehow epoxy .010" shim stock onto the table connector? 
-    *Thicken material by welding? 
-    *Solution currently in place- a cut up soda can was a thick enough shim to tighten down fully. 
   *<del>Place & bolt back onto stand</del> DONE! one bolt seems a bit crooked. Should fix sometime.   *<del>Place & bolt back onto stand</del> DONE! one bolt seems a bit crooked. Should fix sometime.
  
 Future work that could be done: Future work that could be done:
   *Set up depth stop/gauge mechanism?   *Set up depth stop/gauge mechanism?
 +    * See the second half of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8s-ufGi_P0|this video]] for an example of what I'm thinking of
 +    * Find the measurements of the spindle where it would attach, approximate distance to where the depth stop would go, and diameter of the depth stop hole.
 +    * Start with a wooden "proof of concept before making it in aluminum?
 +    * Cut out hole with hole saw/CNC/whatever
 +    * drill holes to 1/4-20 tap diameter (#7, IIRC) or smaller if necessary, cut in half, tap one half and bore the other?
 +    * use transfer punch to mark where to drill for threaded rod
 +    * Grizzly sell a variety of threaded "stop collars" that would be a massive improvement over nuts on threaded rod, but only available in a handful of sizes (one kind in 3/8" (called a Quill Stop), and the other in 3/8", 1/2", 8mm, and 10mm (Threaded Stop Collars))
