I have a Delta drill press that has the Reeves drive system for variable speed. It is OK, but I occasionally have a problem with it grabbing the belt and stopping dead. I have lubed and checked it several times, and usually limit it to about 2/3 speed when it starts shaking to warn me the belt is vibrating and preparing to lock up again. So far the belt is still good.
I am running out of patience (and apparently ability to fix it). I have looked at the two Nova models, but there are things I don't like about each.
So, I notice that Rikon is building tools with electronic speed controlled motors, and they just brought out a full size EVS Lathe.
Finally the question.
Has anyone heard about a possible Rikon EVS drill press coming out soon?
