Hi,
I have this drill press and would like to put new bearings in it.
They are a specialty bearing with an extended and slotted inner race, made that way so the quill rod can be changed out with other rods for use as a router, shaper, ect.
There are available bearing made for this DP by a private company but pretty $$$!
I was thinking to buy bearings that were the same OD, but bigger ID and then machining a sleeve pressed in to make it like the OEM.
Was looking for anyone that has rebuilt one on these Drill Presses, Delta made thousands of these for decades.
