I have an Excello 602 mill which I am happy with but I keep having a problem with the hand wheel feed on the spindle. There is a tapered brass clutch with a tension adjustment knob which works fine for a couple of months and then gets to the point that it will not feed without adjusting the tension and then gets so hard to move that it is very difficult to move with the hand lever. My solution has been to take it apart and clean the brass cone and then it works for a couple of months. I am hesitant to use any lubricant on this cone but that may be the solution. Does anyone else have this mill and do you have a solution?
