Sterling Drill Press Spindle
I have an old sterling pedestal drill press . Model e40 currently has the 13 mm jacob drill chuck.. i have seen one with an extended Morse taper spindle shaft.. anybody have a spare they want to sell or swap....im not sure if its exactly the same as the Richardson drill..

Any chance of a photo/s and some measurements please? A lot of drill presses are made in the same factory, and branded with different names. So finding one branded Richardson, may be difficult, whereas a part from another drill may fit.

I like that table lift mechanism, are you able to show some more photos on how it attaches to the actual table?
Thanks

If you can't get one with a Morse taper, you might have to look at dismantling it and maching the taper into it.
Hopefully there's enough room there to do it.

Hi Kryn
I doubt that would be possible, normally with this type of drill press the morse taper socket protrudes, it's not internal like most modern types.

Yeah that makes sense. I don't have any MT drills and therefore didn't think of that. The castings on that Sterling look identical to my Richardson. My Richardson has the JT6 taper on the end of the spindle but my friend just bought one with the MT2 spindle - later model.

Also can use the drill chuck of the lathe as it is MT2 taper.
