Duro WPS 3081 Drill Press

[zcox96]

Good morning fellas. I’m new to the forum. Just picked up this Duro WPS 3081 drill press and working on getting it cleaned up and running again. I’ve tracked down all the parts I need except for one. From what I can find from other threads, there’s supposed to be a silver knob on the left side to adjust the quill tension. I was wondering if anyone out there happens to have one or knows of anywhere I can track the parts down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a pretty good sized knob. Ebay will be your friend.

You could get and or modify old radio knobs. With this one for example you need a flat on your shaft for the screw.

The knob looks very similar to an Atlas, if not identical.
And I find it's the easiest design to wind up tension on the spring, much easier than on a Delta 14".
