Think I found a solution that does not involve me finding a machinist to make a new gear. A gent on ebay had an 0305 pinion, with is similar, and upgraded from the 0303. The 0305 "upgrade" has the teeth broached onto the pinion shaft, as opposed to having a separate gear with a notch in the...

Thanks gents. While I have the will, my equipment and skillsets are currently not up to the task; and I am now 6 months into my 3-month 1000 SF garage build project, so the odds of getting machine-able and capable soon remain slim... :unsure: lafester - After hunting around a few weeks, I...

Attached pic did not post? Trying it again.

Speaking of old threads... :) Guess I'll post here and see what happens. Picked up an unloved 103.0303 a few months ago. Functional, mostly all there, but...loose. Especially the spindle, in the mid travel area. At the top it was tight, as well as the bottom. Hmmm. Finally got a break from...

I sent some pics to a the Hammerscale guy in NC, and (short version) he indicated that the taper damage appears significant enough that my options are: a) regrind down to a #33, assuming there is enough material un-galled, b) build up the taper with weld and then regrind, or c) make a new...

Bummer. Thanks for the response. And the quest continues...

Hoorn - A little thread resurrection... I like the detailed pics you provided. :thumbup: Did you perchance happen to take a pic or document the length of the splines on the spindle? I picked up my SB DP a few months ago; but the spindle (taper) appears to be toast. I started another thread...

WAS Jr - I have posted over there yesterday, but there has not been a SB DP owner response; tough crowd to noobs, I guess. Whitworth - I agree, it is a great looking DP; and once tuned up, I expect it to outlast me... I'm still bummed that the PO was...perchance...less than honest in his...

Thanks for the responses guys. Much appreciated. RoninB4 - The measurements are the best I can obtain from my tools; a 10 year old digital micrometer and a new Harbor Freight dial indicator. I am also ignorant of some potential South Bend machine dependent decisions made decades ago. I.e...

Thanks Whitworth; that is the best assessment I can come up with as well. But it baffles me how South Bend literature can indicate a Jacobs 34 correlates to a CE1201, and then in other docs indicate the CE1201 is a 6T33. There is not on 6T-33 Chuck on ebay; and the 33 Taper dims do not match...

Thanks all for the responses. morgandave - pretty sure it is not a Morse Taper, as SB offered an optional Spindle with a Morse 2 taper. See attached pic "SB Accessories". Mine is the "Spindle J, with short taper". Why the heck that Taper was not defined is a question for the ages. RoninB4 -...

Dang. Not sure what happened. They might have been too large a file size. I'll try again with a reduction in size.

Was getting tired of the lateral play (everywhere) and offset at full extension with my 15 YO Craftsman, so I picked up a SB drill press a several weeks ago from local CL. 3rd owner, who bought it from the son of the guy who bought it originally in Chicago; I'm a sucker for chain of custody...

Model 5268-21, 1 1/8" SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer. Used it to drill quantity 21 10"deep by x 3/4" holes for setting sill plate anchor bolts and seismic hardware with the Milwaukee bit. On the 22nd hole I hit rebar; stopped the drill from going any further, but it did not bind. Picked up a 3/4"...

Thanks for the info all. It really looks like the stores are just winging it, per Renegade 1L1. Called and talked to the Oracle Store Manager today - he confirmed - again - that they do not intership. He also indicated that the reason the other 2 stores may have identical merchandise rolling...
