Re: Show us your cool " old " drill press I have one just about like yours. I completely rebuilt mine too and use it all the time for drilling anything larger than 1/2 inch in metal.

No, the shafts are not splined, the spindle is just like the motor shaft, round with a keyway. The spindle is two parts, the splined part runs up and down in the second part that the pulley attaches to. I think that a pair of pulleys would be easy enough to buy and bore out to the correct...

I have rebuilt an Atlas 1020 drill press and only need the pulleys to finish up the project. My idea is to buy a set from Grainger, MSI or similar supply store and rebore to what I need to fit the motor and spindle. Has anyone done this or have any better ideas? Thanks.
