Slow Speed KIT Walker Turner Delta Atlas Craftsman Drill Press 2 7/16" ID

Description: THIS IS NOT AN ENTIRE DRILL PRESS. IT IS A SLOW SPEED INTERMEDIATE PULLEY AND ABS ADAPTER ONLY. Example drill press shown to illustrate fit and function only. No belts included. This item is a speed reduction pulley and with special mount to fit a 2 7/16" ID drill press column for 4L (1/2") belts. If your column measures something like 2.425-2450" (2-7/16" is 2.437") you've found the right adapter. Slow speed drive system fits entirely inside many belt covers, a Delta example is shown. Reduces RPM at chuck. Slower cutting speeds work better for metals. Larger diameter cutters such as hole saws, paddle and Forstner bits cut better with less heat and wear when turned at proper speeds. Small diameter bits require higher speeds. This pulley while capable of cutting your final output speed in 1/2 is also capable of doubling it making bits under 1/8" must less fragile. Add about $350 value to your vintage American iron. Note: Does your Walker Turner motor mount include a boss for an overarm style speed reduction pulley? As you can see this column mount style fits my 900 Series just fine with no need to cut off the factory boss or flip the motor mount plate. Belt sizes I used noted below. The ABS column adapter has a socket head driven spreader acting like an internal collet to snug the adapter against rotation in the column. Only snug until you cannot rotate by hand. No more pressure is needed as there is little or no operating force trying to move it. As shown, the adapter is positioned generally so bushing is to one side of press and pulley yoke is swiveled across center of the column tube towards the other side of drill press. This keeps it from getting too far off center to interfere with belt guards. It fits all my drill press's with guards. One is shown. I have no idea what dimensions yours are. 1) Your machine MUST have a column with 2.437" (2 7/16" within reason) bore. This is found in some Walker Turner 900's but not all. Other drill presses with 2-3/4" columns could also have a 2 7/16" bore. Check yours before ordering. I list other sizes in other listings. If you need to fit different inside diameter, please contact me. 2) The column must be capable of protruding through the top of the head casting. (See caliper photo.) 3) Made for 4 groove pulley system requiring 1/2" belts or 4L belts. (Converts your 4 speed into a 12 speed with both slower and faster speeds. 4L is a 1/2" belt.) 4) Flipping the motor drive pulley over is required. All of them I have seen can be flipped without machining. I have not seen yours. 5) Adjusting the head height on the column is required to find best belt alignment. Don't worry, V-belts can be run very far out of alignment with no issues. This is not a sensitive setting. 6) Your belt guard (if so equipped) bottom or base plate must not cover the drill press column. If it does, a hole must be cut approximately 3" in diameter to reveal the tube opening. This item includes: Metal pulley loaded with ball bearing, pivot yoke, bronze pivot bushing and additive manufacturing ABS column adapter machined to accept a bronze bushing and securing hardware. This item is made by me including sourced and modified parts. The drill press and belts shown are props used to show application of slow speed update kit and are not included. Don't buy this hoping it will fit. MEASURE THE BORE of your column. If your bore is different, please send me a photos of your drill press, caliper measurements and model of drill press. I just might make a special one for you. Following information is not warranted. Provided as a record of my experience with my machines and sourced information. I have run this kit on my Walker Turner 900. However, my column id is the smaller size. If you buy this item you get the larger size 2-7/16" adapter.
