The only problem with the HFT (cheapie) drill press is, even though it's a 5-speed, all the speeds are too damn fast! The bigger the hole, the slower the bit...
HF has everything.... including AC speed controllers.According to HF it draws 2.4 amps. Light dimmers don't reduce voltage. They reduce duty cycle. I have had good results reducing speed of lightly loaded motors with light dimmers.
Yeah, I shoulda never got rid of my drill press! I’m sure not doing that by hand!
I can see it now. A mill rebuild thread.This guy is in Phoenix. Your friend gggGary.

Hi all. I am selling my mvn mill. I have the complete mill unassembled. I will sell all for $350. Great buy for someone wanting to rebuild a mill. Contact me at spaquette54@... for pictures and discussion.
I would pull the bleed nipple out or mask it off. Don't want to plug it with paint.
A black nipple would look almost as bad as green gaskets.

I don't think the coating will affect anything... was prolly just a powder coating of some sort. I'm guessing the shape is the fix. A brake squeal is nothing more than a high frequency vibration that (comes close to) matching the harmonics of the pads or the rotor. Changing the shape of either changes the harmonics of the vibration and reduces or eliminates the squeal. The shims effectively change the shape of the pads.The weird shapes of these things are frankly baffling to me....
....I’m also curious if my painted shims will still perform as well as the original coating.
Hows that for goin' all geek on a post...
