I don't know what they were asking for it, but the drill press itself is really well built. You'd have to spend a lot of money on a modern machine to get in the ballpark construction wise.

So just snug it up and go. Sounds good to me, thanks!

I've got most everything apart and ready to be cleaned. I was wondering if anyone knows a general rule of thumb for preloading the bearings? I can wing it and check for heat during break in, but I thought someone may know. I've only preloaded tapered bearings in a lathe and I was able to find...

Thought I'd share the testing results I did using a LUX meter to check the light output of the LED tubes from Amazon against 85W 8' long fluorescent bulbs. The LED bulbs have gone up in price since I did this video, but they are still inexpensive per bulb compared to most other 8' long LED tubes...

I thought some of you all would like to take a look at this old bowling ball drilling setup, complete with the x-y table/clamping jig! I'd also be very appreciative if anyone could...

Hello! I'm a new member. I've been a lurker for a while though! I own a lot of old 18V Black & Decker tools that I had quit using because of bad battery packs. I stumbled across these battery adapters while looking at options for repowering those old tools. I was also surprised to learn that...

I've never used anything but the premixed stuff. What make the hot-mud better? Just curious so I will know next time I have to do a repair.

Yep, they work great for things in the weight range the OP is looking at lifting. Being able to roll in all directions is nice too!
