I previously posted about the problem with the belt changing mechanism on my King Seeley drill press with the VariSlow accessory. (I have no idea why this board automatically locks threads that are evergreen.) The shifting mechanism does not lock down, so the belts slip. It turns out that a piece is missing. When I get a chance tomorrow, I'll take another look, but it seems that this nylon clamping pad is gone:
Someone on eBay must have made a tool to produce them, and they're selling for $10 each. If that piece will work with mine (the knob is tightened down so much that I am unable to loosen it), I might just have a good drill press, which I need.
