I am planning to use the Pressmate with a 100 pivoting table from my 100 (I keep it horizontal 99% time). Are you sure an adapter is needed? Isn't it just a bolt that goes through Pressmate and chuck key hole that attaches Pressmate to the table?

I saw Jeff's video and now I understand how it works. BTW, thanks for the offer for the collar, but I contacted the PO and he found the collar. So I just need to go get it.

It is for me, so I will be repainting. :) I'll probably use the tilt table from my 100 then I tried the V-S before I bought this and it worked fine, I will probably put the V-S on my DP and keep the MSA as a backup Thanks for the info and the name of the lift. I called the guy I bought it...

5) He also threw in a drill press vice and some hardwood (he had more hardwood but it was too long to fit in my car unfortunately)

I picked up a 150 benchtop for $100. It is complete (it is in pieces on my bench). I thought I was going to pass on this but I decided to get it. The top band is pretty clean. Everything runs. 1) I noticed the platform is one solid piece. My 100 is 2 pieces. This means that it will not tilt...

Is the Vari-slo an addon that can be switched from drill to drill? I thought it was part of the drill press itself (attachments, screw holes, etc)?

Thanks, As I said, I have a 100 w/MSA, this was a 150 with Vari-Slo. I think I could get it for 75-100 range, but it is a 50 mile trip each way and it does not sound like it would be an upgrade to what I have. I think I will pass. Thanks

Is the Vari-Slo on a Craftsman worth it? I have a DP with the Multi-Speed Attachment. But, someone nearby has a 150 with the Vari-Slo. I am wondering if I should go look at it. So, is it an upgrade over the MSA? Thanks

I think that's a Craftsman 80 not a 100

Perhaps he meant the spring which holds the chuck up? Looks like the spring is broken.

That first photo looks like the quality of photos that people around me post all the time. I don't know what people are thinking when they show a small portion of the item and it is hard to tell what the item even is!

It was tossed the second it came off the grinder

I had the wheel wedged everywhere (probably had 10 wedges in there). Even used penetrating oil overnight on threads. Wasn't budging. Used a wrench about two feet long, wasn't budging. Added a 3-4 foot pipe to wrench. Went slow, but that is when the nut busted. Note, I did not have a six-sided...

No, I was going in the correct direction.

Do WT drill presses and Craftsman DP have the same diameter posts?

Thanks all, I got it off.

I have an E-7 too. So. Do I place the whole piece on an open vice with the end cap being held with the opening and tap on the shift lightly until the bearing moves enough so I can get to the screws. Or do put the shft down against a solid wood block and bang on end cap until eveything moves...

Thanks! But this is in front. How do I remove this piece (has 3 screw like items --- arrows pointing to them) so that I can get to the screws?

Have a Wissota grinder I'm taking apart, want to change the bearings. Anyone know how to get this end off? I don't want to break anything.

Thanks for all the tips. Well, the good news is that I was able to get the bolt off. The bad news is that the nut shattered.
