11b, thank you for providing all this great and very valuable information. I have been neglecting my drill press for 30+ years since my brother-in-law gave it to me. It has had a easy life, being used primarily for woodworking projects. Everyone on this site have inspired me provide some TLC...
I have a 113.24520 which came equipped with a 3/4 hp. Everything I have read indicates standard equipment is 1/2 hp. My brother-in-law gave the drill press to me about 30 years ago and he is no longer alive to ask questions.
