Try more filing before condemning it. It has to move freely or it will chatter when going up and down. Examine the end where it was mushroomed over closely. If there are no cracks in it you should be able to file it enough to free it up. If it doesn't move freely it could also lead to the quill...

Chuck something up that is straight and about a foot long. (The axle shaft salvaged from an old printer is perfect for this) If the runout is bad it will be very visible. This would cause vibration all the time though, not just when you are moving the quill. ^^^^These would be the 2 things I...

Dang FrankLee, you have been on quite a roll here the last few weeks!

Point out the broken knob and the missing table and head lock handles and offer less. The quill is not fully retracted so check for a broken spring. May just need to be adjusted. Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like the knurled tension knob lock may have been replaced with a hex head...

Re: The Classic Craftsman 100/150 Drill Press It looks like the paint is in great condition, just covered in dirt. It might just be the camera angle, but to me the column looks shorter than normal.

It looks like it has 3 pretty big sets screws holding it in place so it certainly wasn't going to move. Strange stepped cut on the sides of the flat bar also.

Your motor does not have a start capacitor, just a start winding. The clicking is the centrifugal switch the connects and disconnects the start winding. You should hear it just before the motor comes to a full stop. Since it sat for a long time not being used it just may be a bit sticky and may...

They look custom made to me. Looks like someone welded a handle to the original bolt from a cast style handle and then filled in around the base of the knob. They did a top notch job of blending everything in.

I think at an almost unprecedented level:shocking:

Looks over priced to me. Table with holes all over it and too many missing parts (the motor pulley in addition to what he listed). Just the wobble in the chuck is a red flag all by itself. I think if you can find a better deal if you are looking for one to restore. This would be a good parts...

Yeah, I think maybe from a model 1060 or similar vintage

Looks like someone put a floor length column on a benchtop model.

That disk sander cleaned up really well! I would think about saving that Craftsman motor for a needy drill press and keep an eye out for a TEFC one. Doesn't take long for an open motor to get packed with sawdust on a sander.

Re: dp#71, Delta 28-100, 10" Band Saw Somewhere I think there is a waffle house that's missing a table :)

Exactly. Changing the legs only changes the relationship of the phases to each other, that is why the direction is reversed. That is all the drum switch does, switches two legs with each other. Glad you got it working! :thumbup:

You are over thinking it. It's not important which leg is L1, L2 or L3. You just need 2 line legs on top and bottom connections on one side of the switch and the other leg on the center connection on the other side of the switch. The 3 load legs go to the other 3 terminals in any order. If the...

Yeah, seems to be hard to pin down. 1957 catalog shows older style, but it was probably printed in 1956. Not sure, but I think that on occasion they just used the same artwork from a previous year if there were no major changes. Also possible older bases got broken and replaced with a newer one.

FrankLee do you know when the floor model base changed from the recessed to the through the base mounting holes?

Probably your best bet. It really should be wired wye if that's what the data plate shows. Wiring delta instead could be the cause of the high current draw (and heat), but the question is why doesn't it run connected wye if that is its design? Bad winding? Mis-numbered winding wires? It is...
