Craftsman 150 HI-LO Multispeed Attachment

This is how I went about getting some more adjustment, and primarily, slowing down the spindle on my Craftsman 150 Drill Press. I'm quite sure this can be done to any drill press with an open and accessible column. Please enjoy, like, and subscribe.

    I just found your channel and am binge watching. It's nice to see someone using oil to drill, a center to tap (with oil) and backing out to break the chips. Oh, oh, oh...and a chamfer on the threads. Your videos are creative and you have good machine practices. Fun to watch

    Nice job on slowing down the chuck, now all I need is an older drill press to modify, the nice thing about watching others on you tube is I learn something new and useful most every time 👍, thank you ❤️

    You are on another level ( compared to other you tubers) my good man. I’m an amateur carpenter- I know nothing about metal work. Watching you makes me want to learn. I came here because I just picked up a 150 series craftsman 103.23140 that I’m restoring, but I need to find or have made a feed stop section. ( sucks to be me) Great video editing btw.

    I picked up one of these at a pawn shop for $50 a couple years ago. It has the step down pulley on it. A while back I found a bench top without it. It's been way to fast for steel work. Have given the import drill presses away since finding these.

    Yeah, the imports really don't come close to these older models. I have since removed the step down pulley and put a larger 3 phase motor and VFD on this floor model. It has instant reverse so I can power tap with it and "infinite" variable speed with the turn of a knob. Very Very handy. I have another video on the conversion if your interested.

    This was a great video. I have the same drill and am looking to use the pulley slot for a counterweight system to raise and lower the table but don't have a lathe so sending it off to a friend. Can you provide the dimensions for the insert that you milled?

    Keith, the screw you put in between the motor mount and the column, is that a set screw to hold the column insert from spinning/moving? Thanks.

    Yes. With the shaft for the intermediate pulley drilled off center of the column insert, you can spin the slug to tension the forward belt and then snug the set screw to keep the insert stationary.

    The set screw really only keeps the insert stationary until you tension the rear belt with the traditional method in the press. Once both belts are tensioned the insert can’t rotate within the column as it’s being pulled in two directions, both forward and aft.

I;m on the hunt for a gearbox so i can do a conversion, would be a big upgrade to be able to cut threads. Thank's for the excellent videos and keep them coming !!

    @@mibooth1852 Thanks. I believe I am the third owner of the lathe, and the owner previous to me had restored it to some degree. Hence the non original color. Very cool little lathe.
