Powertye makes good straps for sure.

I'll take a look, thanks for sharing! And the "pinion lock nut" I am looking for is the pinion shaft retaining screw and washer on the original parts list. I'll also respond to your PM on parts.

Well, after several years I am finally getting this old drill press of mine back in service. It was my fathers, who has passed away since I started this project, and I have always wanted to restore it since it was his and in his shop for many years. It was in very rough shape to begin with, and...

Location, desired R-value and proper venting need to be part of the discussion, but fiberglass batts are usually the most budget friendly.
