    DP replacement motor

    The shaft on the motor of my drill press just snapped. It is a probably 50 year old Craftsman. It has served me well. Do I put it out to pasture or get a new motor. It takes a 110 v,145 frame motor. The motor that was on it was 1/6 hp but it seemed stronger. I guess I will need a 1/4 -1/3 hp as a rep. Any suggestions?

    I've heard lowes is closing out the Delta DPs dirt cheap. You may want to check out the Richmond store. Post back if they have any other hot closeouts.

      Why not take the motor to a electric motor repair shop, they may have another armature they could replace that with and fix your problem cheaper
      than trying to get another motor. eezlock

        Did anyone score on the Lowe's Delta deal? I need some info. I tried to do an area search at my local store. They need the lowe's info. The model # will not do it.

          Never mind. My neighbor had an old 1/3 hp motor. A coupe of dollars in hardware and some scraps to make a motor mount and it's back and better than ever.
