I'm wondering what my options are for replacing the chuck on a early 70's era Powermatic 1200 drill press. I'm a drill press newbie.
The machine does not have a chuck installed. I'm curious about where to buy a chuck, what's the best option, cost, as well as ease of install.
Also, the motor is 220V. Were these only 3 phase motors, or is there a chance it's single phase? Looks to be a variable speed model with the rectangular table with a "trough" all the way around the perimeter.
Thanks for any help!
