They are worn from using the drillmate with the screws being loose. (Note: The screw holding the chuck onto the arbor is a left hand thread, turn it to the right to remove the chuck.) After reassembling the parts and tightening all the screws the side rods are play free but, the arbor bushings (top and bottom halves) need to be replaced.
I removed the drill chuck and then proceeded to apply non hardening Locktite to the threads of all the screws. I then found the screws holding the 2 halves of the chuck arbor bushings (top and bottom halves) also loose. Upon close inspection of the components of the product I noticed the small screws holding the nylon bushings in the rods were loose. The chuck arbor started out to be rock solid, no play whatsoever, then before I finished drilling all the holes, there was 3/16th of an inch play forward and rearward and from side to side. The steel rods had about an 1/8th of an inch forward and rearward play. When I started to drill out the holes I could not repeat the spacing or alignment of each hole. The wood project I was starting on required about 15 various sized holes to be drilled in rows. I read the description and reviews of 3 of them and chose the Milescraft #1318 AccuDrillMate.
