Comment on Delta Milwaukee 17″ Drill Press by David Edgerly

Hello,
Im rebuilding a delta 1370 DP… i have run into a snag. the lower spindle assembly is connected to the Quill.. and there is a lock nut that i believe hold the two together.. i suspect that there is a bearing between them.. i have removed the cap screw on the inner inside of the quill that is in the bottom of the spindle sleeve. did you perform this operation when you rebuilt your drill press? If so.. and advice?
Respectfully,

I recently bought one of these scroll saws and am battling to replace the saw blade. It would seem as if the head portion has moved off the centre line of the bottom end. Can any of you offer advice as to how the replacing of the blade is supposed to be done.
Thanks,
Malcolm

I have been turning on a delta-rockwell 1460,46-305 12″ wood lathe. Now the bearings are shot. I have exposed the bearings. How do I remove the spindle, so I can remove the bearings with a bearing puller?
Thank You.
