This post will be my first attempt at a Project Log

We will try to Turn a 22.5" Ferm pillar drill into a tapping stand.
We have already take the electric's off and now struggling with taking off the front pulley, any ideas??

Look for a setscrew hidden at the bottom of one of the belt grooves.

Yes - Already removed with Allen Key - Still tight to remove

Warm it up with a hot air gun and use a puller....generally works....

Good idea, will borrow a puller on Monday

You might check there aren't 2 screws in there. Not uncommon to have one on top of the other in a 'locking' arrangement.

BTW Any reason why this is in ' Announcements & Issues' Shows etc??

Sorry didn't realise anyway of fixing?

Doesn't really matter much I think ... MODs'll shift it if they want to.

anyone know how to get pics were you want not just at bottom? sorry im new

Johns Idea worked but instead of using a puller we levered it away with screwdrivers

Dan The Man · « **Reply #10 on:** December 22, 2013, 10:34:10 AM »

We then took away the safety shield

Dan The Man · « **Reply #11 on:** December 22, 2013, 10:38:20 AM »

On this drill the coil is too strong to push from above so we need to take it out and weaken it

Dan The Man · « **Reply #12 on:** December 22, 2013, 10:41:22 AM »

We then took off 2 of the 3 handles. I saw that we could use them on our lathe, as the tool change block needs a thin but strong item to tighten it and offen they bend and we need to make new ones.

Hi Dan,

See http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,607.msg2864.html#msg2864

The method requires that your photos are hosted somewhere on the web (e.g. Photobucket).

Cheers.

Phil.

Thank You will try it

Dan The Man · « **Reply #15 on:** December 22, 2013, 02:24:27 PM »

Right so we had a redesign instead of weakening the spring we just took it off

Dan The Man · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2013, 02:27:02 PM »

Then we put the case back on as a washer

Dan The Man · « **Reply #17 on:** December 22, 2013, 02:28:49 PM »

We then realised that on the upstroke it would tighten so we had 2 put on 2 washers and lock them

Dan The Man · « **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2013, 02:30:08 PM »

also the chuck is rusted and no pics sorry

Hi Dan
Looks just the right size for a tapping stand, good luck with the project.
Cheers David

Good idea that man, i have just bought myself a bigger drill so the little Machinemart job ( same as yours different colour ) will do the job..
I will be following with interest.

Nice work, keep us up on all your mods. A tapping stand can be used for more than tapping.
