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 ❤️
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
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
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?
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 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.

If you aren't a teacher you should be.
Great video, even with sound turned down.
A+
I somehow missed this one. Lathe skills wow. Well done 👍
Great work. I'm enjoying what you have going on. Cheers.
Awesome video man! And the music is perfect!!!!! No rap crap at all, just the way it should be 😬
Fantastic work!!!!! Thanks for making this vid!!!
great video. thank you for the effort in doing this video. I like how you use the indicator for threading

That's awesome.
Tremendous work , what model number is your chuck on your drill press

Did same thing but used a water pump bearing from Chevy V8 water pump for for shaft and bearing for pulley
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.

@@spaghetticallahan9292 Got it. Thank you. Nice work, brother!
Don't know why this doesnt have a ton of likes. Enjoyed the vid man, laughed quite a bit too.
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
Spaghetti Callahan - I have the same drill press. Can you make this attachment for me?
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.

Do you have the multi-speed guide to pulley speeds?
