    Yet another belt replacement question regarding Craftsman drill press 101 & 103

    Thank you. Are you referring to the hole for the switch that I have in the bottom of my 3rd picture above? It appears to have the original switch mounted to the case of the motor. My mohawk is the same way.. Thank you
