Are there any tricks or gotchas to inspecting or removing the spring inside
the variable speed control handle on these mills. It looks like it uses the
same spring and hub as the 5900 lathes in case anyone has experience with
those. Judging from the force it imparts when the speed control handle
returns, I'm guessing that it needs a little care when working on it and I
have no desire to repeat an unfortunate experience I once had with a garage
door spring.
