Anyone Have a Westward 1KEN7 Drill Press (1 HP, 1 Ph., 20", MT3, etc.)
Anyone got one?
I'm looking for some measurements off the machine. One measurement is needed to .001" but the rest could be provided to 1/16" or so and would work just fine for me... These are Grainger sold drill presses... If someone is visiting a Grainger and can take measurements, I'll take care of you... Thanks to anyone who can help...

Anyone Have a GRAINGER (Westward 1KEN7) Drill Press (1 HP, 1 Ph., 20", MT3, etc.)
Someone mentioned in a private e-mail to me that I should have put the
"Grainger" name in the subject line in the first place. Good idea...

Dan,
Thanks for the offer. Very much appreciated. If you want a drawing of the quill on your machine in PDF or ACAD format, let me know. It's NOT a parts drawing. It's only a drawing showing the measurements for a multiple spindle head or similar quill attachment. Someone else came along and provided the info from another group so I'm all set at this point. One thing I would love to know though is how well the laser guided spotting works and whether it looks removable, etc. Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R "DanG" wrote in message ... Yes, Joe I have one. I won't be back at the shop till Monday. Send me a list of what you need. I have modified the table lock and table raising crank and have installed a large removable wood table cover. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

I am a bit disappointed. I had seen a Delta drill press with the
laser set up. It shot a crosshair as I recall, though I didn't study it well. The laser unit on the Westward has two beams, but they are not at right angles to each other and so do not create a typical crosshair. Looks great and usable on a sheet of white paper laying flat on the work top, in real life, not so usable. I think if the lines crossed closer to a 90 it would more usable, though the lines are adjustable to fine tune and stay where they are set. This unit is fairly new to me, less than 2 months. It does everything I ask of it and does it well, and boy is it heavy and solid. I have looked at just doing away with the laser. It would come off readily I think, but the depth gauge is attached to it and would require a rethink. I've just not had the time or need to do it. I acquired a Leeson 1 1/2 horse variable speed DC motor from a discarded treadmill. I think I am more interested in setting it up with a double pole, double throw switch to make it reversible than in fiddling with the laser. I would also like to get a tapping head for it. Right now it's just getting used. Glad you were able to get your information. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .

Dan,
Not sure how I missed this post... But thank you again. Useful info. Sometimes those new fancy attachments are more trouble than they are worth! There is a Grizzly G0521 that automatically reverses for tapping without a tap head BTW... I'd bet it is at least as heavy, if not more so than anything except an older WW2 era drill press or some super-expensive gear head unit, etc. We bought it to experiment with and other than a really stooooopid speed adjustment method (you have to basically remove pulleys!) it is bullet proof so far and our favorite drill press in the shop.

Right now it's just getting used. CLIP Make sure that motor is stopped... I'm guessing your controls will blow if you simply reverse it without stopping the motor's rotation... -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R |
