I tried installing the table lift from a floor model on the bench model. problem was the lift has a round disc that connects to a production table. tried to place disc on small table underneath and doesn't sit flush. table lift is difficult to raise even on floor model, all gears are fine...

came across a head assembly with the ships wheel. cleaned up and just need to make a key way for it. should be done with this soon I hope.

I did buy the first one and second with the belt guard both bench models. moved on and found a floor model with a belt guard also and it has the table lift also. I am presently working on one that will have the belt guard and planning on adding a vfd to it. still may go on to built one more...

maybe because I'm new to vintage drill presses and joined this forum to find out more about them. Insecure far from it. thanks for your valuable input. NOT

Thanks for the quick reply and information. I was interested in this for the ships wheel to put on one I am restoring. seems they are hard to find and offered fellow his price for the wheel only, which he didn't want to do. basically it would be a buy for the wheel and rest spare parts, the...

I just came across this walker press for sale with the ships captain wheel. the table has the arc of shame and seller says it runs fine. It comes with a steel table base. problem is he's 2hrs away. he wants 140.00 for everything. Good deal?

started to restore a WT 900 series and posted a photo on vintage tool discussion. was told there was a walker turner thread, and hope I posted these photos on it. hopefully didn't intrude on someone else's post but only way I found to post on the thread. so, this is going to be the start of a...

Just starting to refurbish a walker turner 900 bench top. This will be a renewal of a rusted up press. Plan on completing by adding a vfd to unit. choose the color as it will be a match to the steel table that will be supporting it.

I found this walker turner for sale and was able to get it at a reduced price which I am fine with. The attached photo is a copy of the one I bought as I didn't have a photo to show. It is the exact model with the belt guard and has the adjusting crank for the table, along with the production...

here's an older vise that pivots 360 from flat jaws to pipe jaws. its heavy but doesn't weigh a ton. problem is there are no marks to identify who made it. looks like original paint and smooth operation. one thing noted is the 360 swivel locks when you secure a piece in it, and the flat jaws do...

Good point on the repaints having flaws, I'm presently looking for a vise and have seen repaints which look nice and now will keep your point in mind.

good morning Mr lee and thank you for the information on this drill press. the motor is 115 19780. mfrs 5-7722 dated 8-58. 1/2 hp 1750 rpm. serial number on base plate 103 24811. the seller did not give me the original bracket..hopefully the feed stop bracket on the 150 will fit, I can check...

sounds to be correct as he did remove a special bit and said he was keeping it as it cost him 70 dollars. not a problem as I was very happy with purchase, yet he didn't want attachments. thank you.

found a nice craftsman bench top drill press with original motor and fellow gave wood table and set of drill bits.today. Runs excellent and was kept indoors. early bird catches the worm is so true. he was moving out of state and unloading so I believe I lucked out for he used it basically for...
