Machine Specifications Machine Class: Wood Working Machinery Machine Type: Drill Press Machine Size: 15' Bench Top Version Submitted By: Machine Specifications Description/Model: Walker-Turner 900 Series (Model 1 944) Date of Manufacturer: Early 1940's (based on catalogs) Serial Number: Last Updated 4/26/2005 12:00:00 AM Comments: My father gave me this Drill press a couple of months ago. He acquired it from my grandfather when he passed some 30 years ago. The first picture is the 'as received' condition and I have worked very hard to get it to the shape as in picture 2. I have checked the runout and it is.001'.

I put new bearings in the motor, which is the original Driver-Line. Everything is in great shape. Edition Introduction Sixth Sociology Research. I was amazed how the tables cleaned up and no pitting exposed under the rust.

Gave me some indication as to the steels of long ago. All I need now is to install the belt. I have ran the motor and it is fine. If anyone is interested, I have several other 'before-n-after' pics available and they are yours if you email me.

Purchased a Walker Turner Benchtop drill press this weekend from a son who was parting with his deceased fathers treasures. The model number is 1 944. Must weight about 130# or so. After replacing the worn out electrical cord and cleaning it up I need help with a few questions. There was no chuck, however from the measurements of the taper protruding from the spindle (0.616' top to 0.560' bottom over distance of 1.0') I think it is a JT33 so I have ordered a ROHM 1/2' chuck to fit it. Does anyone know what the taper within the spindle would be? Would be great if MT2 so I could use some of my longer drills.

The V belt needs replacement as it is brittle and streched. The pulley surrounding the spindle needs removal for this. Is there a particular prodedure for belt replacement?

Any other info would be appreciated. It looks well made compared to current imports and the old motor runs well. Anybody out there have any experience with WT? How old is this beautiful machine?

For a belt I would get one of the poly-v link type belts. They run quieter and transfer power better. As for the shank, if you extend the quill with the down feed there should be a slot in the side of the spindle to insert a MT removal wedge - the quill is retracted to the top position with the wedge inserted and 'tapped' upwards until the shank is released. You can smack the end of the wedge with a hammer, but I do not like this as it can brinnel the bearing races needlessly.

You can buy auto wedges that have a lever that is operated to pop the shank out. [This message has been edited by Thrud (edited ).]. Southbend, As others have mentioned the smallish American benchtop DP's almost always had a JT33 taper integral with the spindle.

The MT-in-spindle is apparently very common on the third world machines. I prefer the JT33/chuck since most drilling on these size machines is small holes anyway. Look right above the 33 taper.

Is there a threaded area a little over an inch diameter? If so, that's meant for a locking safety collar on the drill chuck to prevent it from flying off in the event it comes off the short taper. AFAIK, the only chuck still made with the locking collar is a Jacobs #34-33C. I have them on all my DP's, slightly more expensive than a regular chuck, but worth the extra bucks. Generally, WT machinery is good. They had a very bad habit of using proprietary bearings in most of their equipment though. If you have a bearing go out you sometimes have to add spacer shims to widen a 'standard' bearing to use as a replacement.

DR: You are correct. At the top of the JT33 spindle there are threads about 1' in diameter and covered with a knurled thread protector. I did not realize why there were two Jacobs #34 chucks.

Guess I got a decision to make. Recieved my JT33 Rohm chuck today that I paid $33 for and it looks well made. I see the Jacobs chuck 34-33C costs about $63.

Maybe I can sell the new Rohm on E-Bay and buy the Jacobs. Never had a tapered chuck come off but a machinist friend said it is possible under a heavy load. Thanks for all the help. The advise is invaluable, like that from a father. Still trying to locate a vendor for the poly belt.

I think I may have found it in the grizzly catalog for $20. Not having to remove the 4 step pulley would be a definite benefit as I am uncertain how much to tighten the two screws with lock nuts at the top of the spindle. Yes I did some research on the Woodworking site that Herb recommended.

Great source of info. Was able to download a manual for a WT benchtop drill press like mine,called the '900' series. Mine is a 944. It talks about removing the chuck with the threaded collar.

Mine appears in good shape in this area. I do need to fabricate a depth gauge collar as mine has none. If I move the downfeed too far the spindle falls out. Not a good thing. All the help and ideas have been great. Would like know more about the locking Jacobs 34-33C chuck and how important this may be.
