Re: Drill Press only shorty
picked up another SS so going to go over it and then cut the pipes. Here at xerocraft---https://www.xerocraft.org/index.php--we have a horizontal metal band saw, so that won't be an issue.
Thinking ahead, I think the biggest challenge will be once I put the headstock on while in the horizontal position, will be lifting it upright.

Stick a pole/pipe in the way tube and lift on that.

Re: Drill Press only shorty
why is all your guys SS with the quill control on the right with action toward the table, while mine
while on the right the quill action goes up.
if I flip it to make the quill correct, I have the quill handle on the left.
ok after looking at it at lot, I flipped it so the quill works in the proper direction, but the handle is on the left.
did you guys flip the quill handle and lock and didn't tell me. Ha Ha
the thing is heavy and awkward when working by yourself in the Tucson 100 degree weather--I had to step back and look.
thanks for all your help

The quill lever is reversible. You can twist the handle to remove it an reattach on the other side.farley wrote:why is all your guys SS with the quill control on the right with action toward the table, while mine

Re: Drill Press only shorty
The headstock definitely needs to be mounted with the quill facing down.
The quill advance lever can be mounted on either end of the shaft depending on your preference.

Re: Drill Press only shorty
Since this is a 'dedicated' drill press, get the three handle hub.

Re: Drill Press only shorty
Why? I have one and it remains in the storage cabinet. I don't care for it at all.
