One downside to this project is now I want to get an old band saw to restore it. I think I have a problem....

So I had some more time to dedicate to this project and I am so close I can smell it. Maybe that is just the fumes from the degreaser but I digress. I had a moment to take apart the motor and only one bearing is bad. Apparently a bunch of grit had gotten in there and caused the terrible noise...

Well I had a productive weekend. I got a bunch of honey-do's complete and got to assemble the drill press. I installed the spring incorrectly and need to make the necessary adjustment. It wants to stay fully extended instead of fully retracted. Should be an easy fix. I still need to clean...

So for a bearing puller would this do? There are other options but this is just what pulled up.

Regarding the paperwork I don't have any. If I remember correctly I was around 6 when he got it so that would put it at about 1981 so it was 20 some odd years old by then. I think he got it from a fellow worker at the steel mill. The motor is a Craftsman 113.12130 and I am going to try to...

Thanks! I am excited that this weekend I should be able to put her back together again! Hopefully not another Humpty Dumpty occurrence. I have recorded a quick video before I broke it down of the noise coming from the motor. I was able to isolate it to the motor itself as the rest is extremely...

Here are some updated shots.

Sorry for the delay as I have been out of town working. I initially intended to just clean up everything and reassemble it but it appears that the base and main housing was not going to be sufficient to just clean it so I painted the main parts with the ever-popular hammered rustoleum black...

Well success! I got the pinion assembly apart. Crazy thing is I couldn't see the other side of the pin (where you knock it out) because it was so caked on with crud. I have started cleaning the parts so do you just use a scotch brite pad for the main housing? I am not wanting to repaint just...

Here is the Pinion assembly.

Here is one of the head of the screw that is gnarled up.

I noticed that the attachements didn't come through. For some reason they are not able to attach more than one. This is the inside where I cut the screw off.

Thanks for the reply. The screw was bent after getting the spindle out. I had to cut the bent threaded end off so I could try to back it out again to no avail. At this time I just need to be able to remove the screw head and partial threaded section so it can be replaced later. In regards...

I could use some help please. I have (almost) disassembled the whole thing. It was quite easy except for the spindle pulley. Which leads to my first question: 1. I have sheared one of the 2 screws that you must remove to get out the spindle. I have the head soaking in some PB Blaster but...

Profile updated! I do have a couple of quick questions: 1. Is the feed return handles supposed to return back to the original position? If so I guess my return spring is shot or the like. 2. Is there a parts sourcing list to find the replacement parts? Thanks!

First post here so be gentle :). I know there are a ton of these refurbish posts for these Drill Presses but I was hoping you could indulge me so that I can chronicle my restoration of my grandfather's DP. He and I used to tinker in his shop so this is sentimental to me. I will start with...
