the upright is actually a pipe within a pipe.underneath that collar there is a notch that allows pivoting. i thought about tracking but it seemed excessive to me at approximately 20 degrees. interesting that they both came from large factories.

it has a 7" grinding wheel on one side and i think a 7 1/2 rubber wheel on the other. it runs great but i've noticed lately a slight squeak as it winds down after the capacitor shuts down. it seems to be coming from the motor itself. corrosion on the stator maybe? i haven't timed it but i...

that's it. the upright looks exactly the same. top wheel too. mine has home made guards on the top and side. looks like yours had some field modifications too. where the "c" clamp is on yours, mine has two hex bolts 180 degrees from each other. my top wheel was seized due to old grease. in...

i picked up this curtis a few years back from a yard sale for $25. it included the heavy wooden cart with steel wheels. it came out of the remington arms factory so it's seen some use. the last inspection tag on it is from 1969. has a partially home made (maybe factory made in this case?) 2x54...

anyone know a source for vice parts?

ok, i did a little more digging today. the on/off rocker switch was wired backwards and the contacts needed cleaning. i took the motor off and pulled the plate. the harness on it appears to be home made which is why none of the wires corresponded with what they should. it looks like the...

looking for a swivel base for a littlestown 400. also need the correct bolt to attach it. mine cracked in half due to the wrong bolt being installed and loosening over time. will other littlestown bases interchange? thanks for any help.

i have continuity between the black,white and brown in every combination. should the capacitor circuit be open until voltage is applied?

i don't think so. there aren't any labels or markings. i think the manufacturer might be fsp

been lurking for a while and decided to join i have a sears 11321300 drill press. the previous owner had installed an external 3 speed switch which went bad. i'm trying to rewire the motor with a plug so that i can plug it in the outlet in the head and use the original switch. it's 115volt...
