Thank you all for the responses! I used this little parts washer for a few minutes today and diesel makes a very good degreaser/cleaner… but I’m not sure about the smell. I can deal with it while I’m using it, but it seems to last indefinitely in your clothes. I may end up swapping it out with...

Thank you so much for the great information! You’re right, the smell is enough to make me want to spend $100 more for regular cleaner 😖

I recently bought a cheap parts cleaner and I am looking into getting a good oil based solvent for it. My question is, does anyone use diesel fuel or kerosene for their solvent? I am not concerned at the moment, about seals being damaged by it, (replacing the pump soon) I am more worried...

I have a 1.5 hp 3 phase Baldor motor to put on it with a VFD.

This is the pin I was referring to.

If I can get a couple decent pictures of it, I will post them. I have it all torn apart right now, but yeah, if I loosen the big bolt on the underside of the table to tilt it one way or another, I can’t because of a second bolt keeping it from doing so. I am confused at this. lol.

As I was tearing this press apart, I noticed the table is pinned with a threaded stud and a nut on the underside to keep it from moving. I am confused at this feature, why would it be pinned, and yet has an incremented “ruler” riveted to the pivot of the table, presumably to “adjust” it?

The craftsman all day long! Nice machine.

It’s a fairly big press for sure. I only paid $50 for it so it doesn’t need to perform miracles to make it worth it. 🤣

Btw, this drill press is so dirty, I had to scrub this with simple green and a brush just to read the tag. But it’s going to be fun to redo.

Yep that looks the same. Thank you for posting this 👍 Never heard of Emerson, but I have something to now to start my search 😊

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for the information! That was very helpful! I just told my boss this morning that, if that motor is 2hp, I will eat it for lunch! 🤣 there’s no way. I have a Baldor 3 phase 1.5 hp motor with a VFD on my other drill press that I will be transferring into it… I believe Baldor...

Apparently I CAN post images now. lol
