Hey folks -
Okay, so the lathe *may* not be '51.... I was going by what I found at OWWM under "Delta"... Here's another stumper... I also have a Delta Homecraft bench drill press with the serial number "U3810" on the same style data tag as is on the lathe. It doesn't match *anything* at OWWM. Any ideas?
The DP has an unusual planetary gear set atop the stacked drive pulleys so that the DP can be slowed WAY down for metal work. It makes quite a racket, and I don't do much metal work, so... But I'd sure like to find out how to open it up to lube it and have a looksee.
I'll post pics later on today.. Thanks in advance for any info....
