I had this same problem with my magnum 100L gun. Couldn’t save the diffuser but was able to save the nozzle by drilling out the diffuser from the back, first with a drill slightly larger than the hole then one a bit larger and finally with a 5/16 drill that fetched up slightly and spun the...

My 1947 delta drill press homemade slow speed attachment utilizes the 3/4 inch bore in the top of the casting. Made from scraps except for the 2 bearings. The front belt is fitted with the pulley swiveled to the side allowing both belts to be tightened by pulling the motor back as you normally...

I know this is a fairly old thread but I thought I would add what I learned replacing the spindle bearings in my 1947 Delta 17 inch drill press. Mine has the jt 33 taper half inch chuck and the original assembly was sold as one part with two bearings. The old bearings are labled 87503. I bought...

Thanks, I didn't think of shortening the slide and screw. I was getting it to use in my shop and though the missing chunk would not really matter except that I would see it..... I rarely need more than a few inches of capacity. Still he's asking 250 and would only come down to 150 which is too...

Thanks for the link, very helpful. I went to look the Parker 824 1/2 that was on CL. The vise looked to be in good shape (jaws etc.) except that one of the back corners of the slide was broken off, maybe a 1 1/2 inch corner gone. The picture in CL did not show the missing corner. The seller...

Hi, Can you tell me what the Chas Parker 824 weighs? Thinking about going to look at one I saw on CL. 4 1/2 inch jaws? It's an 824 1/2 not sure what the 1/2 means.... Anyone have a rough idea of the value? Thanks, Paul

I will, the basic drill is in good shape. The problem is that the original flat belt system is gone, and I need to fabricate a decent looking motor drive. The drill came from a machine shop, and I don't doubt that the former owner was a decent machinest, but an awful welder! I pitched the the...

Correction: jaws are 4-1/2 inches and vise weighs 76 lbs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is a Barnes Drill No. 0 that I picked up recently and am in the process of cleaning and painting. It has an interesting variable speed mechanism, a vertical disk and a horizontal leather covered disk. Speed is adjusted by moving the horizontal disk up or down on the vertical disk. I will...

It has a swivel base with a pin that drops into a series of holes. I think it has around 3-1/2 inch jaws. They don't seem to be replaceable. Anyone have insight on jaw replacement?

This is a Prentiss 912 that a neighbor gave me recently, it belonged to his grandfather. I think it dates to around 1910 or so.

I recently purchased an old dremel kit in a wood box. There does not appear to be a serial number but from what I have read it may be from the 50' of 40's. Can anyone help me figure out the year? Inside the box there was also an old catalog which i scanned into a pdf. Here is a link...
