No arm not bent.Is that arm bent causing it to contact the terminal housing?
It is handy to swivel the head sometimes.I'd hardly call it idiotic covering a screw that shouldn't need to be touched during normal use.
Came out of a school. Perhaps they didn't want kids meddlingThe head is meant to move, is it not?
Why is there a hidden screw?
Perhaps someone's idea of a joke. .
Impressive that you caught your chuck wrench falling, on camera
Very common on modern plastic stuff to have the last screw hidden under the stick on data label, but I have never encountered a hidden fastener under a rivetted metal plate before.
Good bit of lateral thinking there in finding it!
I hope you awarded yourself a Brownie Point for that.
Not even screwed on , it's them little rivit things.

Most normal pillar drills, the head is fixed, with the table being able to spin around the column.The head is meant to move, is it not?

Yes....I agree completely.Most normal pillar drills, the head is fixed, with the table being able to spin around the column.
In normal use, there should be no need to spin the head.
Define "normal pillar drill."Most normal pillar drills, the head is fixed, with the table being able to spin around the column.

That's why I preceded normal pillar drill with 'most', as I am aware there are pillar drills with movable heads, but they're not that common.Define "normal pillar drill."
The Progress drills have movable heads.
I have one very similar and spent a while trying to work out why I can’t revolve the head to drill offset to the base on something tall. The answer was two tiny grub screws, same location as yours but for some reason I couldn’t see them, hidden in plain sight….No arm not bent.
Idiots hid a screw under that plate
