I had to give up
by: Bob H

I never was able to find the splined pulley for my drill press and had to give up and buy another one. I still have the old press if somebody is interested in 'parting it out'. I can be reached at bhanna1@austin.rr.com

Wanted: Craftsman Drill press spindle pulley
by: Bob Hanna

I need the spindle pulley for my old Craftsman drill press, model number 103.23640. This pulley is for the chuck side of the press. The outdated Sears part number is 27415. I would also like to find the splined sleeve, part #18413. The diameter of the splined shaft is 5/8 inch with the shallow or lower part of the splines measuring 1/2 inch. I'm hoping that someone either has one of these for sale or can tell me where to locate one. Another hope is that the same splined pulley has been used on other Sears presses and I can get a model number to use in a Sears search. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I can be reached at bhanna1@austin.rr.com

I just got one like this...
by: Anonymous

I just purchased a drill just like the one in the picture that is in excellent working condition. I am going to do some research on the drill, but its design (the shark fin) makes me think that it was made during the 20s and 30s during the Art Deco period.

1960's drill press
by: Tammy Wright

My Grandfather was a gunsmith, and had a drill press exactly like this. When he passed away my Father, also a gunsmith,inherited and still uses this machine.Recently the top pulley on the shaft broke and we are trying to find a replacement. The drill press went through a fire in my grandfathers shop and the plates containing the serial and model numbers were burned off. Can anyone help?
