I have some metal and woodworking projects I'd like to get to, but
first I have to get to two project machines(Drill Press & Bandsaw)
that I picked up a couple months ago.

http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...slander/Tools/

I'm getting ready to clean them up, but I'd appreciate any
recommendations on where I can get parts.

The Drill Press has a single phase 3/4" horse power motor that I'll
have to take apart.(But I'd like to find a simular motor for the
bandsaw).

Going by the pics, can anyone tell me if there are any specific parts
I should be scouting for?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

your drill press needs a motor pulley - try harbor freight - it looks like
the generic made in china unit, so there is an excellent change that the
replacement pulley for a similar HF unit will be correct. Then you will
need 2 V belts. You can use it with one handle missing, or buy a
replacement handle. I sold a drill press like yours, but complete, and with
a much better chuck (and a better table) for $150 - so be careful not to put
too much $$ into it.

the bandsaw appears to be missing the table and all the parts that go with
it - try the same source - HF and see what you can find - but again, don't
put more than 1/2 of what a new one costs into it. For a motor, find
something used for $5 or $10 max, there are plenty of old motors around -
3/4 HP will do. I can't tell if the saw guides are complete, you need to
look at a parts list and see if they are all there. And, on that type of
cheap bandsaw, the carrier for the upper wheel can fail (it happened on
mine) - if that happens you need to make a new one

This'll get you started:

http://metalworking.com/Dropbox/AMT_...rill_Press.pdf

--Winston

I put "Drill press" in the search at Harbor Freight in hopes of
getting back hits related to the drillpress, and only got two pages
with very little. Even "belts" brought back nothing related to the
drill press.(What "handle" were you referring to?).

You said I need a motor pulley, but if you look at the pic:
http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...rillPress1.jpg
it is there. Just not attached above the motor. It looks as though it
has a wood dowel going through the center, so I assume I'm supposed to
punch that out and fit it on the the motor spindle.

As for the Bandsaw, I didn't open it up further, but all the parts are
in the pics. I also could not find much at Harbor Freight when I put
"Bandsaw" in the search.

The problem is that I cannot search for a particular part number to
find what I need. So I have no idea where I'm going to find a table.(I
have no parts list).

And as for a motor, going by what you said I guess these are too
expensive, correct?

You said not to spend more than 1/2 of what a new one costs, but I
wouldn't know what that would be, because these are no longer made. I
did pick both machines up for $80 ,and was hoping that fixing them up
would be a learning expeince, but unless I can find someone who can
make what I need, it looks as though they may have to go out to the
garbage.

Others have mentioned Harbor Freight for parts. Here's the trick to get

numbers for any that look close to what you have. Go to the website,
download the user manuals, they almost always have a parts breakdown in

HF parts tend to be very modestly priced (the good news) but many of
them have to be ordered from China and take weeks or months to get (the
bad news)

The drill press is missing the 4 step pulley. Good item to get from HF
parts.

The bandsaw seems to be almost complete. Upper guide, lower guide,
table, table support, and stand. I don't see the little 'C' shaped
table to table support locking pieces. I rarely use my table tilt
feature, consider just bolting a pieces of 3/4" plywood or suitable sink
cutout directly to the frame. Bolts are likely to be metric, don't force
anything when replacing a bolt.

You said that the drill press is missing the "4 step pulley". I don't
understand. In this photo there are two 5-step pulleys:
http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...rillPress1.jpg

The one not attached has a wood dowel wedged through the center that
obviously has to be removed so I can place it on the motor.

I measured the top wheel inside the bandsaw housing and it came out
top 13-3/4 inches, so I assume that this would be considered a 14"
bandsaw.

Of what you mentioned, the table and table support are what I don't
have yet.(I just need to figure out what size I should be looking
for).

Thanks.

ok, it's time for you do do some searching around - find the chinese import
that most closely matches what you have and download the manuals and parts
lists. If your drill press is a 5 speed and then just put it together - why
are you asking questions?

as for the bandsaw, if that one is different, keep looking - but unless you
have some idea of what your tool is supposed to look like, you will never
get it together.

Sorry, couldn't count the steps! Normally there are 4 steps in each
pulley. You need 3 pulleys to get this to work: one on the motor, one on
the spindle, and the center one as an idler. The idler pulley will have
one belt going each way so there are less than the 4x4 speeds. Sounds
like you have all the parts, just needs to be reassmbled.

Sounds like a 14" bandsaw. The magic number you will need is the
circumference around both wheels to get the necessary blade length. For
this machine, it will likely be something like 91-1/2 to 93-1/2"

I presumed that pic bandsaw6 showed the table leaning up against the
guard. On closer examination, it is the door to the guard assembly. So
no table. But the bracket with the half round slots is the base for the
table.

bad news)

The drill press is missing the 4 step pulley. Good item to get from HF
parts.

The bandsaw seems to be almost complete. Upper guide, lower guide,
table, table support, and stand. I don't see the little 'C' shaped
table to table support locking pieces. I rarely use my table tilt
feature, consider just bolting a pieces of 3/4" plywood or suitable sink
cutout directly to the frame. Bolts are likely to be metric, don't force
anything when replacing a bolt.

I'm getting ready to clean them up, but I'd appreciate any
recommendations on where I can get parts.
The Drill Press has a single phase 3/4" horse power motor that I'll
have to take apart.(But I'd like to find a simular motor for the
bandsaw).
Going by the pics, can anyone tell me if there are any specific parts
I should be scouting for?
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

There are actually 3 shafts: one for the spindle, the "jackshaft" or "idler
pulley" shaft, and the motor shaft.

The pulley on the motor shaft is missing as is one of the V-belts.

Your drillpress is set up the same way that my Craftsman is: a motor pulley
identical to the spindle shaft pulley but mounted inverted that is
connected by a V-belt to an idler pulley that is, also, connected by a
second V-belt to the spindle pulley.

The speed of the spindle is determined by the placement of the V-belts and,
on mine, range from 300 RPM to 4650 RPM in steps.

The slowest speed occurs with the motor pulley's V-belt on the smallest of
the 5 steps [its top step] driving the idler pulley's largest step [its top
step] and the idler pulley's smallest step [its bottom step] driving the
spindle pulley's largest step [its bottom step].

IOW, that's not a 5-speed but a 15-speed drillpress that you bought. grin

To find a matching pulley for the motor, just measure the spindle pulley
and get another one like it.

You'll also need a least a pair of V-belts, too.

FWIW, I just bought a replacement belt for mine at an autoparts store.
grin

You may be able to do some v-e-r-y slow speed drilling by simply using the
bare motor shaft to drive the motor-to-idler V-belt connection but you'll
want to get a pulley for it if much torque is required.

Don't think so.. It looks more like my Craftsman from the 60's that I
inherited from Dad.

There are only TWO pulleys , that is, no idler, so the wooden dowel is just
in the pulley-bore of that mystery-pulley in the middle for some sort of
confusion factor - that pulley is most likely the motor pulley, check the ID
of the bore with the motor shaft. One pulley for the motor, the other for
the quill. The belt is tensioned by pivoting the motor until proper tension
s achieved, this done with a screw below the belt-guard housing. The screw,
in the case of Dad's Craftsman, swings out of alignment easily for
belt-change, and just pops back in to hold position - simple.

Notice the pix, which shows a large open area for the motor to move about
in the belt-housing.

the casting bolts to the bandsaw frame, and there are two (potmetal,
usually) assemblies that bolt to it and allow the table to be angled, and
they in turn bolt to the table. - look at the manual from HF or some place -
they are all just about identical

Well, you are pretty good at misleading everyone. If you look at page 8
of this instruction manual,
http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals...9999/39955.PDF
you will see a good drawing of a double reduction belt system with a
step pulley in the middle.

For the bandsaw, the table mounting can clearly be seen in Fig Z on page
16 of

You said that the drill press is missing the "4 step pulley". I don't
understand. In this photo there are two 5-step pulleys:http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l.../Tools/?action...


Hello Darren:

In the AMT online drill press manual, the pulley numbered 65 was
intended to go on the *motor* *shaft*. That arrangement would give
you five speeds using the long belt supplied with the machine.
Probably runs around 700 rpm at the low end, and about 3000 rpm at the
max. However, for metal work, even lower speeds would be very useful.

With your machine, if you were to buy another 4 or 5-step pulley to go
on the motor shaft, and two *shorter* belts, you can get about 16
speeds. Belt 1 goes from the machine's spindle pulley to the other
pulley that is currently installed. Belt 2 goes from that "other"
pulley to the motor pulley. With that arrangement you can go down to
about 200-250 rpm---very useful.

Hope this helps -- Terry

You asked for comments on your drill press from a company that is out of

'missing' since we can not inspect it closely. Then you complain that
someone shows you something slightly different. Have you looked at ANY

I knew when I posted that the company that made the drill press was no

And I've had the PDF manual for the drill press for months.

Said manual and pics I took of the drill press have been posted in

that this is a 5 speed drill press with no "Jack shaft/idler pulley".
But only *two* locations for the included 5-step pulleys in the
housing:
http://www.metalworking.com/DropBox/...rill_Press.pdf

But I am continually directed to manuals for drill presses that are
*not* the same as mine. So I'd think it would not be a good idea to
reference those when looking for parts.

Flash is the only one that seems to understand this.

When do I need parts, I'll contact Harbor Freight. But from what I can

for the bandsaw is a motor, a table, and a 92" blade to replace the

How strong is that middle shaft that the pulley is resting on?
If it was 5-speed, the pully belongs on the motor shaft, AFAICT.

That piece in the lower left is the mount for the table. The two curved
things are the guides for the swiveling table.

It probably bolts to the two diagonal holes on the c frame behind the lower
guides.

Somewhere around here, I have a pair of very similar swivels off a 4" wood
jointer.
I will rummage around for them. Measure yours and get back to me. If they
are the same, you might be able to use them to build a table.

I see a lot of differences. And I don't yet know what the piece on the

Your definition of "social graces"? I get called a troll for pointing
out errors. I convey my displeasure with being called a troll, and as
a result you say I'm complaining about the help.

Your tenuous grasp on reality is astounding.

How strong is that middle shaft that the pulley is resting on?
If it was 5-speed, the pully belongs on the motor shaft, AFAICT.

Very funny.

Thanks a lot.

Those two holes are 2-3/4" from center to center.(And 5/8" from the
edges).

It probably bolts to the two diagonal holes on the c frame behind the lower

Somewhere around here, I have a pair of very similar swivels off a 4" wood
jointer.
I will rummage around for them. Measure yours and get back to me. If they
are the same, you might be able to use them to build a table.

I see a lot of differences. And I don't yet know what the piece on the
lower left of this pic is for:http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l.../Tools/?action...

As of right now. The only thing I know I don't have is a table.

Thanks.

It wasn't meant to be.

I can't tell from the photo if the pulley in the middle is attached to
anything or if it's jiggling around loose.

If it's attached to a rod in the middle, and the third pulley is
missing, then it's not a 5 speed, and it's missing a pulley.

If it's loose, it is a 5-speed.

The pulley is not exactly centered. And the belt would be considered
too big if it was for a jackshaft.

But the problem was the number of times I and others told certain
posters, along with the initial PDF manual posting, and specifically
the picture *without* the pulley present. After all this certain
posters still would not understand, and I was ostracized for trying to
explain what I had.

Not very strong as it turns out.

Darren;

I sent an email but it got bounced back.

Those aren't the measurements I need.
Measure the curved parts. width, length, estimated radius of curve. Maybe
some photos with a ruler.

The pieces I have would mate up with those curved pieces and then you could
bolt a table to them.

Shoot me an email from a working address and we can take this off list.

I posted photos he http://s290.photobucket.com/albums/l...slander/Tools/

The part is 10" at it's longest.

The body is 3" wide.

And the curved portion is 3-1/4"(x 1-1/8").

The curve itself is about 2-3/4"(11/16 of a 4" diameter circle). The
rails are 1/4" wide.

The thickness of the part varies.

E-mail sent.

Thanks.
