Have a Millers falls brace with a 10" swing. I notice the bit wobbled when I turned it. Thinking I had a bent bit, I tried another. Same problem. I put the brace down on a straight edge, and found that the pivot of the knob didn't line up with the chuck.
The thing doesn't look bent, so what gives? I have another that needs some work to be functional
It appears to be fine in this respect. I wasn't on the lookout for this issue when rust hunting. Is this common, and what else do I need to look for in a good brace?
