Hello,
I'm on rebuilding an old Chinese benchtop drill press. It came with a wrong type of motor.
What I would like to have is a advice on what power rating for the new motor to select.
I have 230V 16A 50Hz AC, single phase.
It is a 12 speed drill press with SPA 12,7mm profile V-belt. Column diameter: 80 mm, Spindle: MT2 with M22 screw size arbor, all bearings are replaced with new quality ones.
Some of these drill presses are sold with 0.37kw motors, others with 0,77kw and some with fantasy motors around 1kw - "nominal".
New motor will be a new industrial single phase one with starter capacitor.
Since this is my first drill press and at the same time the largest machine in my small work room, I have now idea on what to aim for. My target is to be able to drill up to 25mm / 1" holes in Aluminum and mild steel, using reground industrial HSS MT2 drill bits.
Any advice would be helpful.
