I have a drill press that I bought 20 some years ago. It's just a china made unit, but I have a small problem. After a move, I lost the press handles.
Does anyone have any handles from an old defunct drill press that they wouldn't mind getting rid of. They are a 6-7 inch long with a small round knob on one end and threads on the other. I don't know the size of the thread right know, but I would think that the china made models are probably all the same.

i'd drill the holes slightly oversize and tap them. then cut some rod and thread the ends and screw em in. i recently turned on my drillpress only to have all kinds of grass flying out of the belts, opened the cover and found a big mouse nest in the pulleys! must have been like bad carnival ride to the mice.


Just because you have a few Craftsman tools, it dosen't mean your a craftsman.

I've been using the ready rod or the log bolts. It's just not the same. I've been operating it like this for a couple of years and am hoping to find some real ones. Thanks for the suggestions though.
