The Old Machine

i have a drill press same as yours. im in process of restoring it to working condition. i wonder if you do have copy of a manual and parts list regarding to this type of drill press. i can provide you more information and pics if you like. thank you!

I too have a similar machine, surplus from Douglas Aircraft - parts list is on line here: http://www.mikestools.com/download/Delta-Parts-Lists/17-213-17-Inch-Drill-Press-Old-Style-with-DP-600-Z-Head-Casting-DP10.pdf

but I haven’t found an owners manual. And I want to know what the handle and gear assembly (#21-24 and 67-69 on the parts list) are for - My compound gear (# 111 on the callout) is stripped, so I need a replacement, or will have to make one - if you or anyone else needs (or has) them, let me know. It is a 2 part gear, so replacing only the cast iron part (wiht bronze) seems practical.

I found the parts I needed - I ended up with three of the table mounted version of these drill presses, used parts from one - it’s interesting the subtle variations between the Delta and the Delta/Rockwell - so now I have two complete units to dispose of and plenty of parts - I’m near Los Angeles, so if anyone needs anything , please go to my web site, http://www.wbnoble.com, find my email, and contact me with your needs. I can offer a whole drill press, working for $50 if you come and pick it up (I did remove the motor to make it easier to handle) - these all have 3 phase 220/440 motors, and I have both the #2 morse tape quill and the #33 jacobs taper quill

Hi: I wish to buy a replacement quill return spring for my Rockwell Delta 15″ drill press. The model number is, 15-017 HELP! Jim Annal

I have one very similar but I believe it pre-dates this one. The belt cover is a cast piece that only covers the front pully. I’ve restored it but it makes a knocking sound when pressure is applied out of alignment with the axis of rotation. I know this is not designed to be used with sanding drums and wire wheels, but it is very convenient for that use. I believe the noise is coming from the sliding spline gear due to play in the lower bearing. Any comments?

My grandpa past away and he left me a Delta Milwaukee drill press 17′ Model #62610 1/2 HP that I need help knowing how much to ask for in a sale. Looks great but the motor is froze up, you can hear it but it is not turning the belts.

Josh:
I just acquired a beautiful Delta 17″ drill press and just finished wiring it this last week. for 120 volt single phase your wiring is as follows… red and green connected-
black and yellow connected, line power in will be white to red and green and black to black and yellow. I hope this makes sense to you, please be careful to properly install the switch; a single pole. use a continuity tester before powering up to make sure you are switched ok.
Yes, I’m here in Milwaukee probably accounts for the good condition of my drill press; nice to be near the source!!
Good luck, Josh. Sincerely, Christopher

I have the same drill press. I sure wish I could find a slo-speed gear reduction unit for it. I was a machinist and I have large drill bits that reqire a slow speed. Any ideas where I could find one. Thanks! Matt
