I have an old Clausing Atlas model 1810 drill press . I used this drill press often when I was working at my shop but I got out of the business in 1997 and this thing has sit for all those years in a none insulated metal building. Guess what happened
I am now retired and wanting to again use this vintage press
I have just about got it to lower and raise ok but while trying to get it to do this I stripped the gears . Would these gears still be available ? I am guessing this is a 1950's drill press.
I could install a 5/8 SAE nut on top, drill with 3/16th bit install a roll pin then use a ratchet to move it up but would like to make it like it was to begin with. It used to work with ease. Thanks for any tips on this. Good to be a new member there. Tom
