I've had this bench drill for about 8 years. and it has wored well until now. Today I get a problem where as I am using it (with a drum sander in the chuck) the motoe continues to spin, but the chuck does not turn, and the displayed speed drops to 0. I am sanding with a light touch, so I am not putting much load onto the mechanism. Since I am visually impaired I am not keen to strip down this machine if it cn be avoided.
Is this a good question?

This one comes in the category of user error. Away from the workshop I had an idea, and when I returned it proved to be the answer. There is a switch on the side to select a gear, either 1 or 2. I don't remember the last time I changed this setting, but when I looked it was neither 1 nor 2, but dangling uncertainly somewhere between them. How tat happened I have no idea, but simply selecting either of the options solved the problem: I'd been trying to drive in neutral! Kind oif embarrasdsung.
