You look like you are farther into yours than I am into mine. I would love to track with you and learn from your experience.

I don't know if these are specific enough to your DP. They work for my 67 model. Hope it helps.

Glad to know someone else has one! As I understand it the first two digits in the serial number indicate the year. Is yours a '67 as well? Did yours come with a table? I would love to see a pic of it. Also what kind of stand do you have or plan to have for it. My project will be done in bursts...

Oh, I got some good help finding a manual.

Here are some pics of the DP. The motor is a simple 3/4 HP unit I mounted just to test it. The unit runs well. No bad noises. I have a 1 HP 3 phase motor I want to mount long term with a VFD speed control. The spring on the quill return is not working right. And the table, not pictured here, is...

I recently acquired an older Powermatic drill press (model# 1150, SN# 67C1082). This is NOT an 1150A variable speed model. It is a rough unit which needs a good bit of work. But I got it for free so who can complain? The end product should be a first rate DP and it will be fun! I will post some...

Thanks! I would love to hear how that goes. In no hurry. Any info on the repair would be welcome. Nearest hydraulic repair shop is about 80 miles away so I think I will attempt the job myself if possible.

I bought the same model press at an auction and am attaching a couple of pics. Included is a Dec, 1968, invoice for some parts for the unit that was in a box that came with it. Did you ever get the jack operational? Just curious as mine is also needing work.
