Restoring a vintage Delta DP220 drill press part #4, prepping the motor

[@johnsimpson8263]

I have not come across a motor with a separate cover for accessing the terminals for rotational change before. Most interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah it’s pretty unique and I wish more motors were that easy to swap

Great video Adam Love this kind of stuff.

Awesome, thank you for checking it out

I like the trick of zip tie to keep the wires strait thanks

[@smalltownmachineshop6860]

It really helps when things have to sit for a few days

watched your videos on the Delta 220 drill press. Extremely informative. I'm working on an exact one for a friend. The spindle was stuck inside the quill. The quill would move up and down with the return spring but the spindle would stay down and not retract with the quill. I got it apart pretty easily but I think I'm not understanding what makes the spindle slide up with the quill. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. thank

Is the spindle all the way down like resting on the table

i have a drill press like the one you are working on. The switch broke and i have to find a different way to get power to the motor, i have no directions, or infor relating to the switch, I can only till you that when i opened the switch box container, there is to black wires going into the motor, i have tried many different ways to hook up the power , and nothing works, all i get is , tripping the breaker. thanks for your offer to help , Gary

[@terrycannon570]

Do you still have the switch and if so is it for sale and how much?
