The 16 speed 16” Central Machine Floor Model Drill Press.. This machine was manufactured in Taiwan and is better quality than the ones made in China today. The spindle goes from 170 to 3800 RPM. This one has a new made in the USA 5/8” Jacobs chuck on a #2 Morse Taper Shank. Runs true within .002” that would cost by itself $100.00 new. It also has a rack and pinion table height adjustment and a work light. I'm asking $220.00.

Where in Ohio are you located? I come up in April, to help my brother with a project, and if not sold by then I might be a buyer. I need a drill press to hold me over until I can get a used Clausing or Rockwell.

What's reasonable? If there is someone at your sister's house to help me unload it, $50.00 would do it...

How are these for parts availability? Things like the chuck and motor are interchangeable but the other things like bearings and return mechanism for the quill might not be?

Bearings and belts can be purchased through any local bearing supply house. Or those parts and others may still be available from Central Machine (Harbor Freight). They don't sell this model today. but still may handle the parts...

A fellow member purchased this drill press and picked it up late last week. I received a PM the next day that there was a problem, that was unknown to me. Upon closer inspection a retainer snap-ring was missing. That allowed the idler pulley to shift downward. That destroyed the one side of the smallest section of the cone pulley. And put a small gouge in the bracket

I figured I’d salvage the pulley rather than order a new one. I re-cut the snap ring groove in the open end of the cone pulley. To fit a larger snap-ring. Then turned down the damaged pulley flange and added a shoulder. To except a new end piece that I turned down from a piece of steel I had laying around.

Drill, tap, and counter-bore four holes for 10-32 socket head cap screws. Clamped pulley in vise on my Kearney Trecker Rotary Head Mill. Picked up center of pulley. Offset head to half bolt circle that I wanted. Drilled, tapped, and counter-bored for one crew. Then rotate head 90 degrees to do second hole. Another 90 degrees for third and fourth hole...

The cone pulley and end piece assembled then bolted together. And good to go...

Nice work there OCG. I wish I had the capacity to be able to do index work like that. Perfect type of job for the old KT eh. Good show there fixin the guy up after the fact, but considering the source I would have actually expected no less. Thank you for sharing the details.

There's a neat little program out there called boltcirc that will allow you to do that on any mill, nearly any bolt circle if you can center it up and read the dials. DRO makes it too easy, but I'm old school and still end up reading the dials.

I'll second the Nice Work comment! I probably wouldn't have thought of that for fixing a pulley. Impressive! :bowdown:

I am the happy new owner of the drill press. OldCarGuy was great to work worth through the whole process and really went above and beyond to make things right. Tried it out yesterday with the repaired pulley and it works great so far. Have yet to put it to a test in steel but I have no doubt it will be trouble free.

I even got a tour of his amazing shop when I picked up the drill press. Pick up was easy as I found out that I only live about 10 minutes away from him hah. :beer:

I could have set the pulley up on my CNC Bridgeport and had it position the bolts. But I'm from the old school, and chose to use my rotary head mill. And not have to use charts or calculations..

Talk about old school? It didn't seem that long ago that I would “triangulate” the coordinates of bolt circles using trigonometry. We didn't have fancy calculators and used logarithms to do the math. Does anyone know what a logarithms is,, or continue to use them today? How about a good old fashion “slide rule?”

We have become such a wasteful society. Taking the easy path,, Just throw it out and purchase a new one. I'd rather find a way to repair it than replace it. You have to have a different mind set when restoring antique cars or getting old machinery up and running. Where there is no source to purchase a new part. Instead of reaching for a catalog. You use your mind and ability to make it whole again...

Ahaidet,, I'm glad that the drill press is up and running. I'm sure it'll service you well for years to come... :thumbup:
