Drill Press: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 07:18, 16 January 2019

Hacklab acquired a 14" floor standing drill press on 2016-06-29. It lives in the corner of the shop, integrated into the table.

Check if spindle needs oil/grease and lube it if necessary.
The previous owner removed the middle pulley from the three-pulley 16-speed gearbox, reducing it to 1 belt and 4 speeds. The third pulley and the two belts are in a box under the drill press if anyone ever wants higher/lower speeds.
