Press the bearing out and take it to a bearing supply house for replacement. They are "standard"
and you should have no problems dupeing bearings and belts as necessary. A Phase-O-Matic 'TM' will
start and run your motor quite nicely. Just be sure to buy one for the rated HP of the drill's
motor.


Better yet, get a VFD for your drill press. About the same cost, but
you get variable speed. A very handy addition to any drill press.

Seconded.

Is that Strands a post drill?

alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
