I have cnc'd my mill drill and that stupid spring on the Z axis keeps

Has anybody ever just taken that stupid thing off?

//// Yes and throw it in the nearest waste receptacle. Quill returns are for drill presses and downright annoying on a milling machine. Any Bridgeport I've ever ran if by slight chance it was still on there, I promptly removed it. Ron

It is handy if you use the manual pull down handles, but I have removed
them and ONLY have power feed via cnc. It would make more sense to have "a
counter weight" on the quill itself to make sure the downstroke is always
pushing instead of having the spring on the countershaft.

Any thoughts?
