New Drill Press

[caintuckrifle]

Got this this the other day free for the hauling so I could not resist. It has been converted to electric power and several parts are missing though it still functions electrically. Does anyone have any idea what model of drill this is/was? or where I could find information on it? Model 203 or 97?

I have cleaned it up some and it works though it runs to fast, also I will have to re babbit some of the major shafts.

Any questions/comments welcome!

 

Thanks-Caintuck

Yeah, I'd call it an irresistable deal myself. It doesn't look like it had a feed mechanism Am I missing the scars where it was removed?

 

I'm thinking that old girl was intended for a motor, I know both mine were equipped to take one if t was available. I have a Champ 200 1/2 that's a brute but there is an obvious belt groove machined in the flywheel. however it has an advance mechanism and hand crank with a lot more clearance allowed for the crank.

 

My little one has a half round groove in the flywheel intended for a leather drive belt, there are even handy bolt holes on the back left side that are just perfect to hang a motor mount from.

 

 I know that isn't much help but it's what I have.

My only concern would be what is likely plain cast iron bearings....they are fine for low speed, high pressure but they MUST be oiled every day. They are not so good for "to fast".
