Drill press

[chatter chatter cut cut]

spent most of the day adapting a 1/2 hp motor to my drill press.the motor shaft was under 1/2 in and had a 7/8 in sleeve on it .so i had to bore the drive gear out to 7/8 in. i thought it was aluminum but no it was cast iron , what a mess. original motor was a 1/4 hp now a 1/2 hp .
