Thanks but i would really like to return it to original height. this poor drill press just looks top heavy and kinda goofy Probably worked for the old Duffer who had it before me.

Hi all, I mostly just read/lurk and do not often have questions but recent purchase has brought one up. I hit our local Re store every day after work and recently picked up a Dunlap 12 1/4 drill press that has been turned into a floor standing drill press. In our area, drill presses are kinda...

Mr. Garcky, is that you on the cover?

I always thought that if I ever built a big enough shop that included a bathroom, i would build a bathroom that looked more like a upscale home bathroom. Tile, nice walk in shower, urinal, nice mirror and finishes... Why you would i do that? The ladies that visit would love it!

I have had a Craftsman belt disc sander tucked away for many years waiting to find the correct era motor for it. after searching and searching i have recently kinda given up and have purchased a old delta motor at the local Re store this morning that will work fine. what i need to know is what...
