Another bump...since I just got another drill press.
How's yours holding up?
Happy Birthday! Got yourself a bday present, eh? Congrats.
I never kept the one I restored here, had it pre-sold before I even finished the restoration.
56,000 views. Wow.

Thanks,
Yeah, about the only thing I can find around here are drill presses, or hog oilers.
I don't really need either

How about some info on the DP. That's an old one, and looks great.

Bill,
You referred me to this thread exactly 6 days short of 1 year ago. It has been full speed down the slope ever since!
Thanks again for documenting this. I have a WT 14" 1200 benchtop in the Q. It is a little bit different than my Delta 17".

I am bumping this to the top again. I had been the 2nd reply saying I was going to restore a WT 900 myself and that press was too far gone to help. It was a basket case of parts and the more I dug into it, the more I realize I going to end up replacing everything.
I started buying parts for the press before I got too far into it and now I am left with those parts. I thought about selling them off, but Walker Turner 900 parts are about as common as corn in the midwest. So then I wondered if a complete press could be made from just picking up various parts along the way. Granted this is probably the most expensive way to get a press, but I know a lot of people have castings laying around that can never be sold because of the shippping costs. So with ArnFest a few weeks out, I thought it would be a good time to ask if I can get any parts cheap. I'll need to read through Bill's thread some more, but so far I think I've got 75% of the press accounted for. I'll post some pictures as things move along, but nothing too detailed as Bill covers it all above.
