Slowjoe, that is a nice drill press and those accessories are too cool for school. I would not sell any of them but I am a collector. I have been looking locally for a rotary table for some time. The Vari-Slo is a very cool accessory. Anyway, it looks like you are getting lots of input from the...

Gatewaysyop is correct. Most people are looking to get the speed down to below 200 rpms for metal drilling. If you dont want to spend a ton of cash, I highly recommend JZiggy's slow speed pulley here on the forum. I think he sells his accessory for around 175 and I own three of them. An...

Anyone looking for part for the Vari Slow, someone just listed several parts on ebay.

I agree with FranksLee's observations. I will add that I do not like the look of the Link Belts and yes, looks are important to me when it comes to my Classic Craftsman Tools. I do keep a link belt in my shop in case I am a belt short for something i am working on and need to get it running...

I am using a 27" and a 29" cogged v-belt on my MSA. All my V-belts are cogged except for the 3/16" V-belts on the Emerson Gen 4s I have.

Sounds like you found the issue. As for straightening the other spindle. You dont need a lathe to perform it. FrankLee does not have a lathe and he fixes spindles all the time. You can fab a hard wood block rest for the spindle and place it in a vise. FrankLee should be able to point you to his...

Paulm12, I would think that the runout is in the tape contact with socket in the chuck. FrankLee is the expert with the 80 series. Perhaps he has some recommendations. If it were me I would measure the runout on the taper in several areas then mark the taper with layout fluid or a sharpie and...

I would get the C3 clearance but here is everything you would ever need to know about bearing clearance: https://koyo.jtekt.co.jp/en/support/bearing-knowledge/10-0000.html

DIY, the dial panel measures 6 3/4" x 5/8". The graph paper is 8.5" x 11 3/4" and each square is 3/16"

DIY, I will need to measure the dial panel over the weekend to give you an accurate number. I know I scanned the image in at 100% so the scaling may be something on you end. I can also get the graph paper size and size of each square over the weekend. If it were me, I would work on the premise...

DIY, I updated that share file and you should be able to open it now. As for the pully disassembly, I did not want to separate the pulleys on the VS I was using in the videos because it was not mine. After I completed those first 3 videos, I was fortunate to acquire one for myself. On my VS, I...

I can do you one better, here is a link to scanned image of the dial indicator. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wHnyhzhZtFEZSMq6eFfBwNsnlO35cfUS/view?usp=drive_link Let me know if it does not work.

DIY, All the diagrams at the start of the video are from the owner's manual (linked in the description of the video) but here it is again: http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/3013.pdf And the patent diagram which are linked on Vintage Machinery site, the link takes you to this google patent...

Gotta say, I am very impressed with the Yeswelder Firstess MP200 5 in 1 Welder Cutter. At $999.99 it hits on all the cylinders for me and its dual voltage. Great customer support and quality components. https://yeswelder.com/collections/welder-cutter/products/firstess-mp200

Snips, congratulation and 150 is a great price IMO. thanks for the mention but Hoorn and FrankLee do all the heavy lifting, I just cobble stuff together and slap a video on YT.

That turned out great, how it the runout with that keyless chuck?

Frank, I have used the diagram before and it worked for me about 1/2 the time. I find that looking at the end threads is better for me.

ZAMAK (or Zamac, formerly trademarked as MAZAK[1]) is a family of alloys with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminium, magnesium, and copper. Zamak alloys are part of the zinc aluminium alloy family; they are distinguished from the other ZA alloys because of their constant 4%...

JD, I soak the head in simple green, if that does remove the paint, then I coat the inside with citrastrip. As for your motor wiring, try these videos:

I have been hunting for a 12" 2-wheel band saw for a rebuild series of videos but nothing has popped up that was reasonably priced or had the pedestal base. I really don't want to rebuild one without the pedestal. I am sure one will come up sometime this year.
