This was my Dad's. It is a Craftsman King-Seeley probably around the 1950's anyway. Floor standing. It is good machine that I have used for a long time. However, it has never had the power that I think it should and I believe it is due to the belts. This has come to be a problem as I want to drill a 3 1/8th inch hole for a clock in a hunk of maple 1 1/2" thick. It just is taking forever. I don't really know how to work the belt system. There is no Sears part number on it that I can find, but it does have a 1/2hp motor.



Here are some pics:

If you have any idea what I do to minimize the belt slip, that would be great. Thank you.

Yes, it was impulsive at the time. Usually the phone does better, oh well. Anyway, there are 3 belts, each has a label on it: SR 170, SR 200, and SR 210. now I just need to find out where to find them.
