I just bought a 5 speed Cummins drill press with a round table. It's older than what I see advertised and seems to be a good piece of equipment. I have some questions about it though and I'm hoping this is the place to ask for answers.
First of all, two out of the three rods used to move the bit up and down are loose and won't re-tighten. Also, one of the end knobs is broken and has to be replaced. I would also like to have an owner's manual if one still exists. Does anyone know where I could look for these parts? I've already gone online looking at Cummins but no luck.
I was pleased to see it has a light but when I looked up into the source I saw that the hole that the light shines through had been crudely widened. Does anyone know what the original opening looked like and/or why anyone would put a lot of effort into making the opening larger?
I really appreciate any advice offered.
