I agree with aquinob a vfd is the way to go here is my drill press with vfd and 1/2 hp motor https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/buffalo-no-15-drill-press-acquisition.510408/

Good luck trying to find and get a new spindle. page 38 new departure old catalog https://7000765.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/7000765/Knowledge Base/New Departure Hyatt/New Departure Hyatt Ball Bearing Catalog 2C-110 (1957).pdf the pulley bearings should be 6205 type

bearings New Departure ND 77120a , 6202-10-2RS, 5/8 x 35mm x 11mm Chuck has a JT33 taper http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/786/1127.pdf

no more belt changes, I also added a table lift

Here is a chuck I have, Jacobs 633C it came off a delta wood working radial drill press from the 70's, will check its runout. the locking collar thread is 1-1/16" 20tpi. Locking collar chucks are required if you side load, such as using a drum sander or wire wheel

yes, you will send the quill and spindle, it will take 2-3 day turn around $50 plus shipping . I may have a good jacobs chuck for you. here is a link to my old drill press https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/buffalo-no-15-drill-press-acquisition.510408/#post-10358592

I only had to take off a few thousandths. Your spindle runout under a thou should be fine as long as chuck has low runout . Std chucks have advertised runout of .003-.004"

to remove the spindle pulley, I have used a heat gun and light taps with a rubber mallet . here is my buffalo 15. It has not been repainted. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/buffalo-no-15-drill-press-acquisition.510408/#post-10358592

Nice drill press rebuild, the spindle taper can be reground, I reground my spindle after installing new bearings in the quill. I got less than 2 tenths run out .0002" at the spindle

I believe the bearings are a 6203-2RS that measure 17x40x12 mm replace with premium brand like, SKF, NSK, NTN

based on the motor tag, it was built in 1977, Made in USA. Great drill press

need more spray cans!

When using this generator in stand alone, then this panel must be bonded but not when connected to the building.

the TS does not switch the neutral, it is a 2 pole wired to a small old 20k. space at this location is tight and that is why the trailer genset will be used and stored at another location

switchmode PS sitting top of the VFD 20V 2A the tach is an automotive 10,000 rpm I made a new face. and use a photo reflective sensor
