In December 2015, we acquired an Enco Drill Press from HGR.

Current Status: Functional, but see below

Specifications:

  • Chuck - 5/8“ JT3
  • Quill feed: 5”?
  • Belt - 13mm x 1132mm seems to be the closest measurement (SPA1132)

Work Needed:

  • Replace Belt DONE!
  • Replace light bulb (w/LED) DONE!
  • Adjust or replace coil spring (quill return seems a bit loose) DONE! (tightened)
  • Needs additional feed lever arms (has one, currently)
    • These are curious. The existing one is something ever so slightly smaller than 1/2“ (12mm?), but testing a 1/2” bolt in some of the holes seemed to be a good fit, so we should be able to fabricate or find acceptable replacements.
    • Suggestion: get a few feet of 1/2“ steel rod and thread one end for 1/2”, and figure out something for the knobs.
    • simpler solution - get a few feet of 1/2“ threaded rod and get 1/2” threaded knobs ($3 each from McMaster or Grainger)
    • Table is loose on the clamp- may just need adjusted? Worked Around!
    • Table connector diameter - 1.850“, clamp diameter - 1.875”
    • Somehow epoxy .010“ shim stock onto the table connector?
    • Thicken material by welding?
    • Solution currently in place- a cut up soda can was a thick enough shim to tighten down fully.
  • Place & bolt back onto stand DONE! one bolt seems a bit crooked. Should fix sometime.

Future work that could be done:

  • Set up depth stop/gauge mechanism?
