Delta Drill Press 14-040

[engineer2]

Most of the used drill presses for sale around here fall into 3 categories, rusted out junk, no-name chinese imports, or expensive industrial models. I love my Delta 17-900, but want something smaller for my tiny garage. Found a 14-040 in the next town over. I know there are better machines available, but I couldn't pass it up for $75.

Next project is to build a stand for it.

sounds like a great deal

Big brother 17-900 and little brother 14-040. Not a lot of parts interchange.
17-900 is 3/4 HP, 3 pulley, and 11/16" chuck
14-040 is 1/2 HP, 2 pulley, and 1/2" chuck.
I have the manual and parts list for both and plan to scan them to share.

Manual scans are too big to attach, but they are just a Google search away.

engineer2,
I am looking for a collar lock screw for a 17-900. they are hard to find, and think i might have to make one. the press is made in china, so i assume metric. any idea of the specs on these. thanks
