Wants $50. Worth it?

If complete and working, you'll never get hurt at $50, parts are worth more than that.

15"

Looks like this, just not as clean.

I've got one. Absolutely love it. I paid $90 for mine and it was in some kind of bad shape, but after having cleaned it up and used it for a few years, I would pay $250 in a heartbeat. Great great drill press. Go pick it up and be happy you did!

The spindle cap alone sells for $40 on ebay. If all of the components are there I wouldn't be able to get the cash out of my pocket quickly enough.

One of our W/T's,1945,32 sp,it's sporting an air/hyd vise(It's twin lives on the BP).... there's another,a 1200 in the cabinet shop.

They are great machines. I restored and upgraded this one a number of years ago. I added a 3/4" hp 220v motor with a 110v VFD for variable speed. It does anything I ask of it.

I just picked up one, model 1-1140 for $75 but it didn't have the chuck key. Would anyone know the size of the key

It depends on what chuck it has. Identify the chuck, then google it to find the correct key.

 

[SteveF]

I'm an idiot. Its pressed into the chuck p/n: Jacobs 6A 33 taper, cap 0-1/2

Is there a standard key for this chuck? I'm not really sure how to get the chuck off to bring it someplace to size up a key. Any help there is greatly appreciated. Note: first drill press ever and this is an old one.

I'll do some searches also. Thx

Looks like you need a K3 chuck key.

 

[SteveF]

Thanks for the help. Would you know how to get the chuck off? I don't see any set screws, only the collar above the chuck that will turn about 1/4. Looks like it needs a wrench with pins.

You see that knurled collar above the chuck? That takes a pin spanner. You turn it with the spanner and it presses the chuck off the taper. But I would not recommend removing it unless it is really necessary. Than can be tough to remove.

Here is the spanner.

Thanks for the advice. I really don't have a need to remove it at this time. Maybe when I get around to restoring the DP. Good to know about the spanner wrench though, I could see the tool in my mind but didn't know the name. I'll keep my eye open for one in case I need it in the future.

Got my K3 chuck key today!!! Worked like a charm!!! Next I need to tackle new 21" belts as the old ones are torn and frayed. Been reading that this is a bit of an effort but good info out there. Thanks for the help!

 

[ndnchf]

Using a link belt makes changing the belt very easy.

 

[SteveF]

I've read that they chew up the pulleys, especially aluminum ones.

If it runs pretty true and all pretty much present and workable it worth it .
Would need spend some time and money make it more versatile though
can't go far wrong for 40-50bucks .
