This press has worked like a charm for my projects czcams.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
The belt tension is done by the bent lever next to the plastic headed bolt that you were trying to take out. Keep this one and give Jordan one of your other ones. Regards from Australia.
I was surprised you didn't know that trick that Dave mentioned!
Of course you beat me to this exact comment Dave! (Well other than the Regards from Austrailia part...) ;)
YOU ARE CORRECT--i WAS WRONG
No filters, much appreciated. Thank you.
Coco is thinking about a new direction!🥂🥂🥂🥂
Like the vintage lathe behind the drill press
Mr. Pete! Still the BEST educational and entertainment on today's television. If its still called that.... Back in the day I would have been happy to have you as my shop teacher. I know I would have learned something. I might of even taken up being a machinist, like my father. I can't wait for your next video Mr. Pete. My favorite shop teacher. MJ
Thank you very very much for the encouragement. I bought a couple of videos on the other day, that no one will watch. So I needed some encouragement
@@mrpete222 Most times it isn't a case of what people want to watch, pretty much everyone subscribed WANTS to see the channels they subscribe to it's just the CZcams algorithms that mean that people don't see when the channels they're subscribed to post things.
That's why you'll see some channels say "subscribe AND ring the bell" that means that you'll get the notification when they post.
But another good way to do it is get an Instagram account, and ask your CZcams subscribers to follow you there, and you can post pictures of current projects, and use that to alert people when you put videos up on CZcams.
Cheers 🥂🥂🥂
Less than $100 is a great price. I've had that drill same drill press for 40 years and it's still going strong. The rusty handle next to the plastic wing nuts is how you tension the belt (you don't need to pry with a screw driver) and changing speed is very fast and easy. Keep up the great work!
I thought that rusty lever was the lock for the head stock to be tightened to the column
That’s a nice find Mr Pete. Thanks for sharing!
Great job an another good buy.
That is a great buy! It’s almost identical to my Porter Cable press and I’ve been very pleased with it.
Good deal Thanks for the video
I am jealous, that is the drill press I have always wanted. The speeds, M/T spindle, and the table are the features I look for in a drill press. You scored a good one. Thanks for sharing.
Good purchase. 👍
Jordan is gonna love it. I have it's 2 pulley brother. Mom and Dad bought it for me Christmas, 12.18.93. I wrote the date under the cover. Write the date and a note to him there. The memories he gets will be priceless. I'm sure
Dad wasn't happy, as I recall it was $300.00. Mom told him to do it.
They grew up in the depression, Dad was a banker. I did have to locktite the set screw on the drive pulley. The lever on the left side is for tightening the belts. Mine has been a great home owner unit. No problems at all. Not everyone needs or can afford industrial grade tools.
👍👍
Nice find.... Has a lot of good features.
Good one for a home shop. ❤
Thank you for the nice presentation of the machine.
The speed will be 510rpm at 14:31 according to the setting of the belts.
Without to much experience I would propose to put the machine on a pair of wooden beams to keep children from knocking it down.
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.👍👀
Good find! Not the best and not the worst. I like the low speeds as well.
Very interesting video. Not all videos need to be earth shattering. I’m happy to see a smart man share his wisdom. 79 years young, keep those videos coming, will keep you young.
Mr Pete you had a lot of humor in this video! I love it. "Don't be nosey keep your focus here"! It was a value because it gave many people some education and entertainment!
Thanks
It will be serviceable when you are done. Jordon will enjoy it.😊😊😊😊
Thanks for the video.
I have one almost the same, few more holes in the table and my switch is on the left side.
I added a magnet on the upper case to stick the chuck-key to it.
Have a great day, great video
I'm glad You're not a close friend visiting me, so my machines would follow You home..... Joking!
Here in Sweden we faced the same, a 10 degree C quick drop in temperature, wind from the north moving unpleasantly fast....
In general, the risk of tipping over is very valuable to think about. Lots of speeds but at the cost of lots of work.... I agree with You, humans don't like time consuming work. The same here. The geartrain on the mini lathe is used for threading and a DC motor moves the leadscrew in normal cutting.....
👍👍👍
Excellent find Mr. Pete! I wish you many years of good use from it. I have had many stray machines follow me home over the years and none have shown any interest in leaving. Same with all the orphaned kittens I've adopted over the years. All happy to be under my care.
Always a good day when I can start the morning with a new mrpete video
I think you did well Mr. Pete. My Craftsman drill press was slightly earlier than yours (mid 1980's) still quite tippy but a very handy tool in my woodworking shop. Initially used to sand the insides of arches in top sash of double hung windows I made and then used to mortise out material using a 3/8" mortising bit for the mortise and tenon joints. Very good buy. You did well.
Great buy Mr. Pete. I think it was a steal at $85!
"pay attention to this, don't be nosey", always the great teacher.
lol
Mr. Pete,
I purchased a new Sears drill press in 1975. It had been in the catalog about 4 years by then. It was made by Atlas Press in the USA. It had a production size table with T slots. No openings for coolant to leak from and no center hole in the table. There was a 1/2 inch threaded pipe hole in one corner to feed the coolant back to a pump. It had a broad base and weighed close to 275 lbs. It had 8 speeds, but to accomplish that, it used a special 1/4 inch V belt. I believe the low speed was around 150 rpm. I used it mostly for metalwork and never had the belt slip. I did purchase a couple of spare belts. After 15 years I replaced the spindle bearings due to noise. Like many drill presses of that era, the spindle was a male Jacobs #33 taper. It came with a 1/2 inch Jacobs 633 chuck with a threaded locking collar. I think by 1980 Sears started importing drill presses. That might be a clue as to the age of your drill press. It was a good machine. We moved out of state in 1994 and I wanted something better, so I sold it to a friend. He still has it and uses it more than I did and has not had to replace the bearings again. I bought a Clausing 15 inch drill press with mechanical variable speed and a 1200 rpm motor for metal work. It was near the end of Clausing's USA production. It's 15 years old and I haven't had to do anything except lubrication. It does have a female Morse #2 taper. It has T slots and no center hole.
Enjoy your new tool!
I loved your comment and my answer will be very similar to your comment. In 1971 I purchased a Sears 15 inch drill press with the narrow belt. It did not have a production table. I used it for many years. And my bearings went out after about 20 years and I replace them. Actually it was a pretty darn good machine, but I wanted one that ran slower. I did not need the high speeds. So I gave that to my buddy who was the auto teacher. Believe it or not, in three hours I am meeting him at his house to make a video of that sears press
I busted out laughing when you said don’t be nosy. Thank you for posting.
I've had the same machine for around 30 years, and it gets used almost daily. It's held up very well and has to date required no repairs. I agree the quality is not great, but it has always done everything I asked of it, and I work on some fairly large things. I do change speeds fairly often, and it's not really to bad an operation. It's functional enough that I rarely use the BP for drilling. Thanks for the video. Mike
Approval of your assessment!
Well Lyle, i have one of the same, but my belt guard is plastic, but the motor is not open on the sides, and is 1/2 horse ( I will have to go make sure when it warms up here ). I bought mine for 100 bucks, and in same condition as yours. I now have accumulated 4 floor models and 2 bench top radial sears drill presses. Best buy was on Oct 10th this year when i won a bid on a Powematic 1200 with power Z with morse 3 and has the 3/4 (19mm) chuck. Stay warm, and Keep on Keeping on, Bear.
I own that same drill press bought new from Sears sometime after 1989. It has worked well for me as a DIY homeowner. I love the speed range and the MT. You have nailed the strengths and weaknesses. I made an extension cord with a GFCI outlet and a foot switch to operate the motor hands free. A magnet mounted shop light from the HF place fixes the illumination issue. A magnet on the side of the head casting stores the key. I think you got Jordan a deal at $85.00.
Ah morning coffee and watching Mr. Pete videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good score, Mr Pete. $85 got you a nice ViceGrip, a useful wee vice, a drill bit and they threw in a drill press like mine! Nice. And I did enjoy having a look around Studio G. Thanks.
I loved your don't be nosy comment made me laugh
Another video to go with my coffee...you are really spoiling us this week Mr.Pete. Sweet!!
Thanks
Great find! My Dad loved Craftsman tools and it kinda rubbed off on me. You are my new favourite shop teacher sir👍
Thank you very much. Keep watching. Lots more to come before I die
Great review of the drill press. I would have never guessed a Craftsman from the consumer line would have a MT spindle.
I have an old Walker Turner 900 that I just picked up a slow-speed attachment for.
Thanks so much for what you do. I enjoy your channel so much and always look forward to your videos.
Thanks
Great deal on the drill press and I always enjoy the action thank you for showing Mr. Pete.
👍
I just bought that very same model. Thanks for pointing out the Morse taper.
You were not cheated - thanks for sharing
Mr Pete thank you for this video and your very good humour. I think you got a good buy.
👍
I bought a "Packard" drill press at auction last year. It looks very similar and is listed as 3/4 HP.
I didn't know about the taper shank on the chuck. Mine has that as well. My chuck is a CYC 16MM, so it looks similar, too.
Thanks also for the info on how to tighten the belts, I used it to make a hole in the back of my computer case and it slipped a bit. Now I know how to tighten them up.
I paid a bit more for it and had to drive to Memphis, TN to get it, but I took my dad with me and we had a good drive, so I think it was worth it overall.
Great video as always Mr. Pete! I have a drill press like this one. I got it in a trade back in the early 70's. It evidently had fallen over because the lid was bent and never stayed closed. I finally got tired of it not closing correctly about 2 months ago and took it apart and beat it into submission. It now looks and closes like a new one. Didn't take me but 50 something years to get around to it!!! But it always worked flawlessly at drilling holes...
👍👍
Great video, thank you.
As for the depth stop - I have/have had a lot of drill presses and prefer that type of depth stop that's tied to the handle. To use it you turn the depth stop sleeve to zero - plunge the drill to the depth you want and then tighten the set/locking screw. very quick, simple and accurate.
My favorite drill press is a Powermatic I bought in about 1985 with that type of depth stop.
The powermatics are very good heavy machines
Mr. Pete is on a tear today!
Extremely enjoyable episode.
My wife even liked this one.
Hope you had a nice weekend, Mr. Peterson.
Thanks
Mr. Peterson, I own a very similar Craftsman drill press, that I've had for at least 30 years. I've never been impressed with it. The original chuck was garbage and I replaced it about 20 years ago. When under a medium to heavy load, the belt will slip, rendering the press unusable. Like you, I appreciate the older, quality made US tools and own an ancient Delta drill press that works perfectly. It was purchased at an on-line auction from a local school district, and the table had dozens of peck marks from who knows how many students over the years, but the quality is impeccable. I'll take a 50 year old, US made tool over an import any day of the week. Keep up the great videos!
Could not agree more with you
Good deal Mr Pete! Grandson will appreciate the drill press
wow are you getting cranky... and of course you adore your daughter.. Hope you have a good turkey day... watch out for those low flying turkeys... 😀
We have a Jet at the shop that is almost exactly like your Craftsman....
.the nice thing is the #2 Morse Taper on the spindle,
and it is easier than most to change speeds, some of the multi-speed
multi-sheave presses are hard to change belts.....
cheers, Paul
When you give the drill press to Jordan make sure you give him one of your floating vices. Thanks for sharing 👍
😀
Looks good to me. The sarcastic high pitch voice is priceless!
😁
You got a good deal. The drill press is so much better than those available now even with its little faults. I am sure Jordan will have fun "restoring" it. Another video gem from 20th Century Pete Productions. Accept no other!
😀😀
Great find mr Pete thanks for sharing 🦘👍
That press has everything needed for home shop use and more. I would’ve been thrilled to have the crank up table alone. Just needs a little clean up. Good pick.
😁
I bought one identical in the 80's. They had a return on the store floor. When I requested to see it run, the salesman was hesitant, saying he didn't have an extension cord. I quickly pointed to a shelf full of them behind him. He plugged it in and I immediately saw why he hesitated, the spindle was bent. I walked 40 feet to the catalog department and ordered one new. Great drill press.
Thanks Lyle!
You’re a very wise man to ask for a demonstration
Good video.
Nice general purpose drill press with some nice features. Great video!
😀
I love drill presses! I was 8 years old when I first learned how to use one and could use one by myself due to how safe I was and knowing all the safety around it :) I also learned how to change gears in the motor and exchange the belt on it. I've done so many cool things with a drill press it's actually insane, now I stepped up to a milling machine with my grandpa 😁
👍👍
Great video Mr. Pete! Nice buy on the drill press, you got a great deal there even with it's cost cutting faults.
Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving!
Great video Lyle. That was a good deal on that drill press. The Morse taper feature on the spindle gives it a lot of value. I have, and still own Sears power tools of the same vintage, yes they cheapened up some features but they always did, and are still getting the job done. Really good score!
Mine has a Jacobs taper, I assume his does too.
@@Bob_Adkins It may be a Jacobs taper. Lyle claimed it was a Morse taper. I took him at his word.
@@joemcgarry1106 Oh, me too! Honestly, I can't tell the difference without carefully comparing or reading the markings. It's quite possible they are different, I was just warning about automatically assuming it's Morse when it could be Jacobs because mine is.
Great video, Mr. Pete! I'm looking for a press like this with low speeds. I had to drill a 3/4 inch hole recently, and did it much too fast on the only drill press I have, set at it's lowest speed. I don't like ruining bits.
Have almost the exact same drill press ... but 1-1/2 horsepower and 17" version ... Model No. 113.213170. Made in Taiwan. Mine has 16 speeds from a low of 200 rpm to a high of 3630 rpm. My tilt/swivel table ... which I ALSO installed backwards like yours was ... does have T-slots. I'll have to correct table orientation! It has been my workhorse for 30+ years in my basement ... zero rust and still great chrome. Purchased it May 17, 1990 ... still have the original manual and receipt. Manual says nothing about M2 taper ... but I've put a note in User's Manual to remind myself. Like the receipt says "Your Money's Worth and a Whole Lot More."
Because of your video, I've learned several things about my old press I never knew or bothered to investigate. For that, I thank you sir!!
BTW ... drill press cost me $399.88 plus $27.98 tax (Cleveland, OH) ... for a total of $427.86 in 1990. All the best ...
Thank you for that information
My gosh Lyle, I have that exact Drill Press. I bought new in the late 70's. Mine has the External Cap.
If You can get to Serial No. We can see how far apart they were made.
To lock the Quill rotate the ring all the way around then hold it at the stop, set the quill height, tighten the Handle.
Who leaked that we are all nosey HAHAHAHAAHA...Guilty....
Thanks Much. Mike M.
Hey Lyle, been watching you for some time now. Really enjoy all the great info you post. I have a 16 speed Harbor Freight press, also made in Tiwan that is very similar in design to this one. The same small base that is unstable, the same plastic screw for motor belt adjustment etc... I guess if they made these to our specs and liking, we wouldnt be able to afford them. Please keep up the great work!
You are correct, you get what you pay for
Mr Pete, Machine tool whisperer. 😄 (nice find!)
😀😀
Mr. Pete, you’re hilarious. Loved the review and I agree with everything you said. It’s a good machine if you are aware of its limitations. Morse taper is quite a nice surprise, surely.
😀😀
Mrpete, I think you made a good buy. The press has good bones and can be upgraded with a higher quality motor and a better chuck if and when needed. I greatly enjoy your videos and learn new things all the time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Happy Holidays!
Thanks
That's a really good deal and not a bad machine for starting out. I believe that motor will put out 1 full horsepower for at least .003 seconds.
I think you had a decimal Point in the wrong spot. It would be .0003 seconds
That is quite a nice machine. I have the substantially same one in 16 speed, different label, manufactured in 1989, and the 12 speed, from MSC, manufactured 2005, at work,, and a friend with the identical Craftsman. I usually keep my quill belt on the lowest pulley, as that gives me sufficient speed changes for steel and aluminum over the machine capacity. (I have a couple others presses for other material and small bits) The depth stop is actually kind of nice for a lot of setups, once the lock screw is replaced with something easier to grip. Friction snug it and lower to drill depth of the desired hole, then lock it. If it isn't practical to set this way, I use a dial indicator mag based to the column. Set the stop with the bit on the work surface, raise the table drill depth using the dial indicator, then drill. LED lamp is the way to go. The 1HP motor is about 1/3HP continuous, on mine. I installed a foot pedal for the motor so I can emergency stop easily without having to swat for the switch.
👍👍👍
Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Pete
good buy
I think it's a decent drill press, super nice for a small shop. I bet that it was not inexpensive when it was new. It's nicer to use than a 15" delta, crank table, low speed, and mt2, she's a keeper.
Wow good deal! Vice, vise grip hold down! Great deal…%) I’ve a similar unit, when it comes to moving it around the shop I walk it, pick two corners on the base and lean and turn back on forth walking it to where ever, so much better than sliding or moving with 2 wheel or cart, being so top heavy!keep up the good work Pete!
👍
That drill press has some nice features I wish mine had. A Craftsman from about 1978,Even then they were putting small bases on them and mine appears to be warped slightly, I would be all over that.
Excellent review Lyle, my old Craftsman King Seely drill press was my first stationary power tool circa '62. Still my most used shop tool. The cast iron 1/2 HP motor has the capacitor in the base. I think Sears offered the center pulley as an attachment because a buddy has a floor model KS press with that addition. You can never have enough drill presses, 8 for me lol.
I had one of those king Sealy presses myself. Not sure why I sold it, I loved the styling. And it was an excellent machine
Lyle, you can never have too many Drill presses, and since you have so many drill bits......best wishes, Paul
👍
That one is just like mine. I bought it in 1992 when I worked at Sears. Some guy bought a lot of woodworking power tools, drill press, planers, saws, etc. for his shop, then he was in a bad car accident and couldn't use the stuff so he brought them all back to Sears and got his money back. Sears marked all the stuff down, so I bought a few of the tools and the drill press was one of them. I milled the top of my CAT 3406 engine with it and it worked great!🤣 Mr. Pete, you got a good deal!
👍👍👍
1960-62, our cigar factory shop had an Atlas Clausing mill with the 3 pulleys to change speeds. It wasn't much of a problem for this new highschool graduate as the center pulley mounting was more industrial engineered. Next year went to a 20 Bridgeport shop, had trouble reaching the drawbar nut with a wrench to tighten or loosen.
Had collected bearings/pulleys/longer motor mount to add a center idler my Walker Turner drill press but assisted living moved me away from home.
Mr Pete i am the man who owned that drill press and i am talking to you from the other side. and my name in fact is Bubba LOL
I am actually laughing out loud
Looks like a bargain! Just like my old delta bench 12 speed drill press that I bought back in the early 80's. Other than the switches this could be its taller twin... 👍
My drill press is similar but without the swivel table.
I clamp a small engineer's hand vise within the drill vise. This gives much better work holding
for many items. I love using it.
👍
I have the 20" version of your new DP but it's got T-slots, 3MT, 3/4" chuck, and a little bigger motor. I really like mine for the shop. You'll be happy with it
👍
Thank you Mr Pete
I bought a used enco that is similar. Thanks for doing this video
You’re right, Mr. Pete, that Lego safety switch is the cheesiest thing but at least it kinda works. That said, you got a square deal, and the MT2 spindle is a plus!
Nice purchase, keep the new one and make a video about cleaning it up, making new knobs, and changing speeds. I went to an outdoor auction in Rockford on November 12th and wore long underwear, hat, and winter coat. It was sleeting and needless to say my buddy and I did not stick it out to the end.
Nothing worse than an outdoor auction in the cold. It doesn’t matter how you dress, you end up sitting in the car or going home
I'd say not a bad score for the price. Still obvious where they cheaped out on the construction of it but overall it would be nice to have in a home garage.
I bet a youtuber Squatch253 might be very interested in that Caterpillar indicator.
Stay warm Mr. Pete
Mine is 17",1 1/2 HP and it has been running for 25 years on the same speed for wood and metal.Thank you for sharing.
👍👍
I have two presses just like that one. One I bought new about 1989. Both are still in good shape although my original has really been used and abused. I don’t particularly like the belt tensioning and speed adjusting system but it will have to suffice. You got a great buy in my opinion for homeowner use.
enjoyed video.u must be a good grandfather.wish u the best.
😁😀
That exact same model of drill press has been re-badged and sold by many retailers over the years. The version I own was purchased from Harbor Freight 12 years ago and except for the table is identical to yours except HF gave you a capacitor start motor.
A few things: The jack shaft pulley assembly rotates on a pin in the casting for belt tensioning. Make sure it keeps moving by lubricating it with oil. The same for the motor mount pins. Others have mentioned the lever to tighten the belts.
Usually the drive belts are junk and have taken a set. I used a accu-link belt from your favorite Freight store. One link belt was enough for both belts.
I bought parts from Grizzly (from their version) to add a traditional depth stop to the drill press although you could easily make them as a project. The main part is a piece that clamps to the quill with a threaded rod that is used with a clothespin-type height adjuster. Works great! I still use the factory spindle clamp at the handle to lock the quill down.
I also bought a used keyless Albrecht chuck for the press back years ago when these were cheap on Ebay. It amuses me that the new price for the chuck was far more than the drill press itself!
Overall, as long as you view it as a light 1/2" drill press it works fine with it's saving grace being the 3 belt pulleys that drop the RPM's down to usable metal cutting speeds.
Thank you for the tips. I did not realize that center pulley was used for tensioning.
@@mrpete222 When the jack shaft pulley mechanism seized on mine, the one belt was much tighter than the other causing vibration because the pulley wasn't centering correctly between the other two and it wasn't obvious. Had to use a prybar to pull the works out and lube.
A solid buy. A homeowner can get a lifetime of use out of that - I’ve had mine (just like that) for 30 years.
😀
Hello Mr. Pete, Great introduction to the Craftsman Drill Press! I purchased mine brand new in about 1990! My chrome is just like new, and works great! No need for a screw driver to adjust the belts, the lever up on the side does a great job! After owning this machine for so many years, the only thing I found lacking was the quill travel of only 3 inches!
Sometime would love to meet in person! If you're ever in the St. Louis area please let me know! I'm the "new be" that was interested in how to improve my channel! Thanks, Have a Happy New Year!
Steven M.
👍👍👍
Great video. The great thing to do with one of these is make a way to bolt down the center pulley, install a ball bearing for an idler to get lots of wrap on the center pulley front belt permanently leaving it on the big front pulley and a way (screw/cam/lever) to tension the front belt. Then you only adjust the back belt which is easy and needs far less tension. You only have 4 speeds but that's all you need.
Good idea, but pretty complicated
