Drill press

>Walter,

Can you not just make one? On the one I have the handle is on a long metal "strap" if you will. At the end of the strap is nothing more than a metal shaft with the wood handle over it with the end of the shaft peened a little so that the wooden handle will stay on the shaft.

Should be easy enough to fabricate I would think and would be more than adequate until you can find a proper replacement.

Now than, there my be different models of #210's and therefor mine may be different than yours.

Mine as some "issues" such as a missing drive gear,the key that holds it to the shaft, and I think maybe sometype of retainer to hold the key in. If anybody has a "parts press" I'd be interested in these parts. It's also missing the table and it's shaft, but I can fabricate those if necessary.

If I can be of any help with demensions please let me know.

>Todd, the one I have has a shaft that connects the handle to the drive gear. I was going to use and old MF breast drill handle but no dice. The handle is the only thing missing. The press still has the MF Decal and MF plate. If I cannot find a handle I can always part it out. There were 2 on eBay but they had fifferent handles.

>Sounds like we have different models of the 210.

Hopefully one day I'll find one that commited suicide by jumping off the edge that it was mounted to that I can salvage my missing parts from. Not holding my breath while I wait for that day, that's for sure. I've had this press for 3 years now and have yet to come across another one. Guess I'll have to scoot back to Maryland as that is where I found this one.
