Where I started to where I am now.

Ahh. That makes sense. Thank you.

I am currently refurbing a 1952 Delta bandsaw. I have a question about belt tension. When I bought the saw it had the steel stand and a 1/4 horse motor mounted. I have since acquired the CI stand and a 1/2 horse Delta motor. My question is how do I adjust drive belt tension on this? I still need...

There is one for sale on CL in Detroit. I noticed your in the Midwest. The guy wants too much for it, but the barter is half the fun.

Picked this DP up about a year ago. Delta DP-600 17inch from the early 50's. Probably a little more drill press than I need, but the price was right and it kicks a**. Id like to get the foot feed system for it, but I haven't seen one for sale under $275. It has the production table, without a...

What are they worth if they are the Imperials?

These are on craigslist and the guy doesn't know anything about them. I don't know anything about them, but they look cool and I want them. Info anyone? He doesn't even know how much he wants for them.

So they aren't really rare, but old and cool. I thought the meteor ratchet reverse knob was unusual, I had never seen one like that, instead of clicking back and forth you screw in and out to change the direction. Thanks for the info everyone.

Picked these up a while back and forgot I had them. I just started setting up my new workshop(garage) and re-found them. Im not sure if this is rare or common but I thought it was kind of cool. I think I paid about $1.00 for the set. I also got the wrench in the box, never heard of either...

I have the exact same model. As clean or maybe cleaner with the production table, no holes or smiley face. Runout was minimal. I paid $395 and I have not regreted it for one second. That drill press will run for another 100 years. Don't get low balled, someone who knows a quality drill press...

I recently bought a Rockwell table saw Model# 34-400 along with a Rockwell 6" Jointer on Craigslist. The jointer works as it should, the table saw needs some TLC. I need to wire the motor for 110 (currently wired for 220), and I am having trouble finding a clear diagram for how. The motor ID...

I've decided to replace the bearings if possible. The top pulley bearing is setting crooked in the car arm and I think that's why it's wobbling. Did anyone know the best place to get bearings for this press, I know they are kind of hard to find.

Also the only noises I heard were the humming of the motor,rattling from the belt cover and a loose mount on the on/off switch, but like I said this is my first drill press and I could be missing some subtle noises. The pulley didn't seem damaged, but I will look it over more thoroughly. There...

When I purchased it I tried to shake the pulley and couldn't, so I think it might be one of the bearings. I noticed on top of the pulley what looked like a brass washer or bearing and I think its not the correct part. Ill take more pictures when I get a chance. Also, I saw a Bearing Cap DP-609...

I recently acquired a delta Rockwell dp600 serial number 105-XXXX, the dp is extremely clean. It has the old style production table with no slots. At some point someone put a baldor 1-1/2 horse 220/110 motor on it. The only thing that concerns me is that there is a slight wobble on the spindle...
