PDC 18/4 NEW - centrotec chuck wobble

[DzordanoBruno]

Hello Gentlemen,
I bought PDC, drilled some holes and I am noticing that, the chuck/
mounting chuck has wobble(centrotec, normal chuck).

IS this on PDC normal?

Are you talking about the Jacobs chuck?

All chucks. I have 5 pcs. Problem is in the geared  shaft.

Assuming youve ruled out bent bits, i say return/exchange it. This is not normal. And the whole selling point of the festool drills, the reason why we pay the premium, is the promise of zero runout.

Not sure if you deal with a brick and mortar dealer, but when I've gotten my drills I took them out of the systainer and tested for runout before completing the purchase.

Yes you should return it.  I have never seen a promise of zero runout in a portable drill or even a stationary drill press.  That is unattainable.

Lol.  Promise in the loose, non-actionable, non-contractual sense.

Little loose on chuck is normal, because this drill is hammer drill and this option needs a little space. And is impossible to make chuck without tiny wobble.

Mine chuck wobble is about 2-3mm side to side. I spoke with Festool servis centre and it is necessary to send it.

I have lot of Festools and this my first problem with delivered tool.
