Default Raising rack for Delta 16-1/2" drill press

Welding shop worth its weight should need neither jig nor your
services to file the teeth after the brazing!

The rack may well be cast iron. Take it to a welding shop and have it
brazed. Maybe make some sort of fixture to hold the parts in place to
make it easier to get a good match up. On a floor drill press, I
don't see that you'd be actually using that part of the rack much
anyway, so a poor fit up might not be a show stopper anyway.
Let the weld shop do the brazing and then you file out the
tooth/teeth where the brazing took place.

The lower 12" or so of the raising rack on my Delta 16-1/2" floor
drill press broke off. Anyone know how to repair this? Or, is
there any online vendors that sell replacement parts? Any
alternatives? Thanks
