The previous owner of this 1150a drill press installed a replacement motor. The new motor and bracket do not allow enough adjustment to tension the belt correctly.
My thought is to attach a square steel tube between the main unit (head) and the motor bracket. I would not need to modify anything existing.
The tube would need to be minimally 5x7x1. Most of these sizes could be larger. The tube width could be 2 inches.
Any better ideas or improvements?
Where can I buy such a small piece of steel?
