Delta Dp-600 Drill Press Restoration (photo Intensive)

The worm gear will spin many revolutions to tighten or loosen. The screw on top locks it so it can't move once you have it where you want it. Line up your pointer and housing to the zero mark on the scale before you start to reassemble. Near as I can remember, that's how it worked.

Nice build. Just started taking mine apart today. I need bearings for sure and a couple other things I see on the bay. Cool build on the pulley setup. I might need that. that little factory pulley setup is pricey.
