That made more of a difference than I thought it would. Thanks.

I bought one of these in 2011. I just started using it again. This is great to get rid of that vibration. Funny watching this; same DP, same steel straight edge and same compressor in the background. You mentioned leveling/squaring the table at the beginning. I'll check your other videos for that. Having the bit get stuck and spin in the chuck when cutting steel, I assume. That could be an issue with the bit not being sharp and/or not being square when it breaks thru the back side of the piece. Could also be a speed issue with respect to the type of bit and/or the material. Having a bench grinder is handy for keeping bits sharp and properly profiled as they can get dull and there's no place for the chips to go behind the cutting edge. Thanks for posting.

To stabilize my drill press motor, i used a turnbuckle to link two wires together; one running from the back of my motor, and one coming up from the floor plate. It seems to woork well, but you have to take care not to judge tension on the motor by the tension of the wires, especially when 18ga is thicker than it needs to be for this application.

Thanks for the video - needed to adjust tension on a drill press at work.

Wow man, this video is the “Bomb”. I have the exact same drill press. I’m going to tune it up tonight. I bought it used from an angry, soon to be ex wife. It has slipping belts and the quill spring return is set to high. It’s an adequate drill press but the Chuck is a real POS. THANKS,

Helpful series, filmed well and decent sound. I just got one of these as an open box floor model here in Canada, missing an arbor and chuck unfortunately. Porter Cable doesn't service outside of the US.

I have this exact drill press, so this series is awesome. I have a question. How friggin' tall are you? you dwarf that press!

very informative .thanks you

Thanks that helped a lot. Best video on here for drill press set up by far.

My 13" swing Taiwan generic drill press: The quill end attaches to the pulley via a tappered shaft, so all those tap tap adjustments won't do anything to raise or lower the pulley.

very informative..its weird u dont get much view on this video..thnx man

You had no problem with the top of the quill to pulley slop???

Do you remember what size belts

The motor belt tensioning lever has come apart leaving me to have to tension the belt with a wooden wedge. In order to remove the tin pulley housing to access the tensioning lever I need to remove the quill pulley. Is it your understanding that the front pulley is just a friction fit, that it should pull off with a puller bearing against the top surface of the threaded tubular shaft the quill rides up and down through? Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't answer that

Front pulley sits on a taper. 3 jaw puller should remove it.

How do you keep the drill bit from slipping? My chunk is tight.

Will the pulley unwind all the way off?

Is it just the 15 to 17 but that holds tear pulley on?

what are your belt specs?m 26 and..?

Use a link belt😊

Video interessante ma se sono tutti in lingua tedesca noi nonriusciamo a capire nulla. Traduzioni anche in italiano. Grazie

This is a complete waste of time
