My old pal gave me a drill press he'd had buried in his shop behind some stuff for 20 years. He hit the switch and it started up and ran. We loaded it on my truck and I brought it home to my shop. I knocked the dirt off and oiled places that seemed to need oil including the motor shaft ends. The part that raises the drill head/chuck up and down only go about 2 inches and looks like it should move more like 6 inches. Also, the motor started smoking as I drilled a test plate. I think the motor got full of mud dobbers and I can take care of that. I may be able to get the travel stuff apart and maybe even fix it. That being said, I can't find a name plate on it anywhere. On the upper casting I see a "DP 220" but that's meaningless to me. Anyone out there recognize this? The switch is an add on. Thanks, gm
