Wow!
Thank you for all that detail, Russ.
Haven't been out to the shop today, yet.
Was thinking about the Dremel and you confirmed it.

Will see what version of chuck I have.

Thanks, John.
It was really crusty inside when I cleaned it yesterday.
Looks like I need to do a better job.
Good enough just wasn't.

Having a little trouble (what else is new?) in getting the chuck on the quill for the drill press.
I notice there is no flat spot where the set screw is and the chuck doesn't want to slide on to the quill.
Here is my chuck:

And all the accessories or attachments I have found.

Chuck ...

Thanks for the additional info, Russ.

My father-in-law must have gotten the extra package because I've located all except the apron.
I'm pretty close to getting started.
I do have some more maintenance like cleaning and waxing but I think I can do some of that in between fooling around.

Fantastic!
Thank you.

Finally getting back to clean up.
Is there a picture, list or something that shows everything that comes (or came) with the Mark V such as chucks and stuff to actually use the machine?

I saw a picture somewhere but can't remember where.
Thanks for any guidance you can give.

Thank you.
I found a thing with sewing machine oil with a long spot for $7.

I saw the Zoom oiler.
Maybe I'll go back and get that

Yes sir.
Where can I get one of those oilers with the long tip?
Jacob Anderson doesn't seem to be in business anymore and he had them.

I want to be sure that everyone knows how much I appreciate their patient help.

By Jove, I think I got it!!!
The floating sheave moves loosely.
Finally.

I put it back together and fired it up.
The speed control works and I have really fast speeds.
Sounds like a jet engine.
Hope it's supposed to.

On to the next maintenance items.

Thanks for the additional info, JPG.

As far as hitting it, they're stuck almost together so I can't move them.

So far (knock wood) I don't believe I've warped the sheaves using the puller.
The pulley is still on the motor on the head still on the machine.
Not sure if that was made known.
