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.

Here we have a small shelf designed to fit around a drill press column, in this case a Craftsman 150. Good for keeping cutting oil, drill bits, cigarettes, and perhaps a small cat nearby for when they're needed. Please enjoy, like and subscribe.
Very injoyable video its a real credit to your skills 😁👍 was going to use a 14in pulley on drill head the a small pulley on drive motor ! Not now ! Will try your way !thks again
First time viewer, and new subscriber here. I came here to watch your restoration, and will be coming back for more stop motion, that was brilliant!!!! I have this same drill press, minus the aluminum(?) band that wraps around the head. This video will definitely get used for A LOT of reference when I clean up my drill press. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
That is really nice, but what made you go 2x48 instead of 2x72?
I just wanted something a little more compact due to shop constraints at that time. Thanks for watching!
@@spaghetticallahan9292 that makes sense.
First Class Job !
Well done.😅
Nice
What paint and color did you use?
Ya know, it's a crying shame that you quit making these videos. Not only do you crank out some truly nice work, they are hella entertaining too!
What did you spray it with @2:26 ?
Mineral Oil.
Great video. I have my dad’s 150 and need a VS.
I see a keyless chuck on your craftsman. Can you give me any info. I tried to find a keyless chuck and Jacobs told me no such chuck exists for the taper with coller. Thanks in advance!!!
I encountered the same difficulty when trying to find a keyless with a collar. I ended up just purchasing a standard keyless chuck, with the appropriate taper (J33 I believe) and setting it up without the collar. My understanding is that the collar is just to help retain the chuck, and to aide in its removal, but I have had zero issues with my chuck slipping or coming off when just using the taper for mounting.
Like the tuneage. Do you have enough torque now without that center pulley?
Yeah, I haven’t had any torque issues really. With taps above 5/16” it pays to run them a little fast to stay in the healthy portion of the torque curve but overall It’s been a very useful upgrade.
If you have a torque boost setting it does help to up it some. Happy New Year.
Will that controller work with a 110 single phase motor ?
The controller from the power power tapping video? No, it requires a 3 phase motor, but runs on either 110v or 220v single phase power.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 10-4, do you know where I might find a VFD for 110, with a Single Phase Motor ? I built A Belt Grinder and it has a 3/4HP 1750Rpm motor, it's a bit much without a VFD Controller. They seem to be nearly impossible to find. Cool Videos BTW 👍🏻
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.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 Got it. Thank you. Nice work, brother!
The restoration alone was great. The videography and soundtrack make this a masterpiece. Brilliant job. Edit to add that I have 2 floor-standing versions of this DP to restore. One of them has the Vari-Slo speed adjustment attachment that is prone to breakage from heavy-handed treatment, which will be a challenge for me.
Damn fine restoration. I love these DPs, done 6 myself, it becomes an addiction.
They got Bob... Funny stuff... I'm going to forward this to a few friends.. They have a warped sense of humor as well..
Ah yes, poor Bob. Thank you for the comment.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 I hope you start making videos again.. you have a real talent.. I've seen guys with almost a million subs that have less talent.. take care my friend...
Very nice work S.C.. I love the color paint that u used, how can I duplicate that color? Love the animation.. very creative.. We need to get u some more subbs.. Count me in to do my part.... Take care my friend... Until the next video...
Come on Spaghetti, 2 years since your last video we miss these gems !!
Awesome build , saw drill press while back and this popped up looking at sander builds . And the video and music make it even that much enjoyable to watch. @ Spaghetti Callahan Skilled Artist,
OMG, I was NOT expecting that opening!! I laughed my ass off! That was some great stop motion video, thanks for posting it!
Thank you. Some people seem to hate it and others dig it. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I just got the same drill, think maybe an older version. This is a super helpful video, but is it weird that the best part is that the cowboy uses a modern tactical shotgun?
That's awesome.
Your videos are great, are you st making them. I hope so. Great content and funny.
Do you know what color and brand of paint you used?
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.
Spaghetti Callahan - I have the same drill press. Can you make this attachment for me?
awesome video, where did you buy and what size tag rivets did you use?
Heyyyyy, follow up question, how did you get that piece out at 3:24? I took at the round piece on the side but I'm confused on how you're hitting it to make it come loose
So on one side of the head casting (left side if your looking at the press from the front) there is the spring assembly for the quill return. On the opposing side (right side) there is the quill handle assembly which moves the quill up and down using a rack and pinion style gear that interacts with the grooves on the back of the spindle. Once both of these parts (spring assembly and quill handle assembly) are completely removed along with the pulley of course, the spindle should slide out the bottom. In the video at 3:24, I am actually hitting the table down which was preventing the spindle from being able to come out. The table was frozen to the column with rust. Hopefully this helps.
That was very entertaining! You have some amazing skills bro, not just in machining.
I really enjoyed this video, i'll be doing this mod to my 150 ! What model is your Logan lathe ?
It is a Model 820 from the mid 1940's I believe.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 It looks like it's had very little use, do you know the history of it? I have a model 200 which i think is the same as yours without the QC gearbox. 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.
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 ❤️
Tremendous work , what model number is your chuck on your drill press
What motor did you use?
Using this video as a reference, I just finished restoring the Dunlap version that I picked up from a machinist. It was my first time using an ultrasonic cleaner, and it was amazing how well Evapo-Rust worked. I went a step further also placing the smaller parts in a metal mesh tea ball suspended in the cleaner. The motor was the most difficult to disassemble/reassemble. Using a punch on the motor housing was a great tip!
Awesome. Yeah the marking of the motor housing is crucial. If I'm remembering correctly, I think I picked that up from a Mr. Pete video. Glad the video was helpful.
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?
Compact and quality built machine .thank you much sharing ...SIR GEE
I have the same craftsman 150 with a half hp motor would I still need to get the center pulley to have this work like that and still go down to like 300 RPM !!?
Nope. I made the center pulley slug that went into the column in a separate video as my initial method of slowing down the drill press. In this video I remove the center pulley and just use a 3 phase motor with a VFD. You can slow it down only using the VFD to very slow speeds while not changing belts. However, there is a torque curve to keep in mind which depreciates the more you lower the speed with the VFD. Easiest solution is to run the drill press in its lowest speed setting at all times and use the VFD to speed it up, rather than the opposite. Moreover, if you used the VFD in conjunction with a 3rd pulley you could go even slower while avoiding the torque curve. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 Thanks very cool !!🏁😎
best video of a restoration by far! amazing, loved it. Not only can you edit videos like a pro, you can work the tools like a pro too, your pretty set-up for a small place, lets see more
Beautiful Work!! This is my restoration ua-cam.com/video/torBWt65Hcg/v-deo.html
How many pound Shock did you use ?
It’s been a while, but I think it was in the 30# range. It’s hard to recall cause I had to buy a couple to get it right.
I’ll see if I can find the exact poundage and let you know.
Confirmed. It is a 30# strut.
Thanks Man
Hands down the most entertaining build video I've ever watched.
Spaghetti, I got the same VFD for my 150 all wired up (works great) I do have a minor high-pitched sound coming from the VFD when it's on. I read that this is from the switching frequency. Did you have this problem? any suggestions to fix? I think this model VFD is set at 16kHz and can't be changed? Minor problem but kinda annoying. Regardless, your video was really helpful, thanks again.
Check out Clough42. He had a video on vfd programming and also another one emf noise.
Hey, I have this same drill press and am confused on how to change the belt speed. The belt seems way to tight to move so I must be missing something
The tension between the pulleys is set using the two horizontal bars attached to the motor mounting plate. At approx 3:25 in the video you can see the removal of the motor mount plate and the aforementioned bars. These bars are adjusted using the two “Frankenstein” looking bolts coming out of either side of the drill press head. In short, loosen these bolts a little, lightly tap the motor assembly/rear pulley toward the front of the press and this will relieve the tension on the belts. Ideally you would get it positioned to where the belt is tensioned but you can still roll the belt by hand between the steps on the pulleys to adjust speed. I hope this is helpful.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 Ok, I took a look, and hopefully I can explain this right, but I can't figure out what's holding those two "frankenstine rods" in place? Like I see the screws that hold the motor to the mount, but are there any screws that hold those rods in place, or do they just come out once the motor is taken off the mount
@@adamthewoodworker2571 In my press there are is a bolt on either side of the main head casting that act as set screws on the motor mount shafts (frankenstein shafts). They stick out of the drill press head like the bolts out of Frankenstein's head.
@@spaghetticallahan9292 Hi, sorry if this is a repeat because I can't tell if my follow up to you actually went through. I was curious if this is the bolt that you are referring to: imgur.com/a/MmQ8gFZ
@@spaghetticallahan9292 And final question, @3:55, is that bolt the only thing holding the bottom plate in place to the pole? I'm trying to take off the table and the bottom plate from the pole without taking off the top or motor. Right now it is extremely hard for me to move the table left/right or up/down so i'm hoping by removing the plate I can completely clean out all the gunk built up in it.
Great videos dude, love the music selection and editing style. I just got a 150 and I'm about to pull the trigger on this mod. Do you wish you had a tach?
Yes, I've considered adding one but generally speaking, I don't drill anything over 1/2" with the press so I can usually go by feel. I also have one of those cheap digital readers and a reflective strip on the chuck to read speeds.
It might have been more interesting without the theatrics garbage!!

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I just bought one online. I'm gonna start restoring it soon. I just wished its motor was Dunlap like yours. The one that I bought, its motor is also Craftsman from 1956 I think. Thanks for sharing.
Great build! Are you happy with the Lincoln welder? Are you using flux-core wire?
Thank you. Yes, the welder has been very reliable since I purchased it in 2015. No problems to speak of. Very good for stationary garage use but for field work, they are a little fragile. The knobs on the front are basically hard connected to the display circuitry so if you snap a knob of throwing it in a gang box or something it’s game over. Oh, and yes, flux core.
