44 forum posts 27 photos	Seasons greetings Has anyone with a warco GH Mill got/had and solved the 'floppy' and inaccurate down feed levers? The handles on my mill rattle about so badly that there is no definite engagement or disengage and will quite often disconnect when down feed is in use, most annoying! I can't have the only one with this problem just hope someone can help best regards Deric

Any vibration when using power down feed will cause them to'jump out of gear' and the quill flies back up! i just had a look at the Chester lux and if yours is the same it has three handles on the main down feed. My machine is circa 2008 and it looks like on the warco machines that the down feed has been changed to the 3 handle version like yours. i would be interested to know how you engage fine down feed Deic
