Tork Craft Pinion Shaft & Key (17, 18) Stand Service Kit (TCMD0068HD-SK18)
At a Glance: Replacement pinion shaft and key for stand reference parts (17 and 18) on TCMD0068HD mag base drills.
The pinion shaft is the heart of the stand’s feed mechanism—translating your handle movement into smooth, controlled travel along the rail. If the pinion shaft or key is worn, damaged, or has developed play, the feed can feel sloppy, uneven, or prone to slipping—leading to chatter and less accurate drilling. The Tork Craft TCMD0068HD-SK18 Pinion Shaft & Key Stand Service Kit replaces the components referenced as parts (17 and 18), helping restore positive engagement and a more precise, confident feed action.
Ideal for servicing and repairs where the feed mechanism is loose, skipping, binding, or showing wear on shaft/key interfaces. Replacing these components helps tighten the feel of the stand and supports smoother operation.
Features
- Pinion shaft and key set Replaces core feed drive components specified in the stand service kit.
- Parts-diagram referenced fitment Covers stand reference parts (17 and 18) for accurate servicing.
- Service-ready replacement Ideal when the feed feels loose, skips, or shows wear in the pinion drive area.
Benefits
- Restores positive feed engagement: Helps eliminate skipping and improves consistent travel during drilling.
- Improves control and accuracy: A tighter feed mechanism supports smoother cutting and better hole quality.
- Reduces wear and chatter: Replacing worn drive parts can reduce vibration and knock-on wear in the stand system.
Extra Information
- This stand service kit covers the pinion shaft and key referenced as parts (17 and 18) on the applicable parts diagram.
- Recommended if you notice play at the feed handle, uneven travel, skipping teeth, or visible wear on the shaft/key interfaces.
- During installation, clean and lightly lubricate the feed mechanism to support smooth movement and reduce future wear.
Pro Tip
- Once fitted, run the feed through its full travel by hand (tool off) to confirm smooth motion and even engagement before drilling under power.

Safety
