Comments:
I was given this drill press when my dad bought a new Ryobi! (gag!) He bought it years ago from a friend at work. At that time it was yellow and set up for only one speed. It did not have the spring, spring housing, etc that raises the quill. Dad rigged up a pulley, spring and cord to do it. I have been unable to find spring components. THe depth stop stuff was also gone. Please see the photos. Yes, I cannot find the depth stop stuff either. There was no shield over the front pulley and after Dad got his hair in it once (ouch!) he made a shield from an old coffee can. The machine has the incorrect spindle pulley. Now it is a pulley with a key ground to fit in the splines of the shaft. The key is epoxied into the pulley. I know that I need a 60-6A pulley but, alas, it cannot be found.
