Buddy was cleaning out his basement, and gave it to me.
Can you bleeve how much that thing weighs?? Good gawd.....


Notice the speeds: Fast and Faster: about 3500/7,000 rpm.


What I am going to eventually do is try and put on a bigger chuck, and
replace the motor with a 3 ph on VFD.
Easiest way I think to make it more usable/practical.


Seems a very fine, very well made tool, altho clearly not for big holes.


Don't know what to do about replacing that type of belt. MSC have'em?
What is the generic class of this belt? It's more like a band.


Haven't used it yet. Keep it out, tho, just to wow my friends.


I might..might have a manual for one, or access to a manual. They are a
very well made drill press and are good for up to about 1/4" bits.

I swapped one to a buddy of mine (minty+) for something or another,
having already (2) Delta high speed drill presses and a double Pratt &
Whittney drill press. All 4 being 3ph damit.

Ill swing in and see if he has the manual I gave him with the drill
press.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner- Hide quoted text -

Well thanks for trying....it is appreciated.

I have looked on the Net and have found nothing.

If anyone else comes up with a manual and a source for belts, I and
others would appreciate hearing about it.
