Its a Wilton Strands drill press Type 24529 It's a floor model with about a 5 inch dia coluum, 18 x 24 t slot table, 12 speeds, 4 quill feed speeds, all gear drive, no belts, it must weigh about 500 lbs and it looks like new. now for the bad news, it needs 460 volts 3 phase. I figured I could just rewire it for 220 v, NBD right, WRONG, it does not have the usual wires that you re conect to change the voltage. can it be changed? I don't see how you can change the motor as it is built in the head casting. does anyone have a owners manual I can copy? I guess I'll have to get a transformer to boost the voltage, anyone got an extra one?
