Just aquired an Avey Size 1,Type C, Style BMA-4 drill press. 3/4(?)hp 3 phase motor, mt 1 spindle range 150-11,500 rpm.
(Yes not a typo 11,500 rpm)
It has the (2) 4 step pulleys along with the dual variable diameter pulleys for infinate speed adjustmentwithin each of the 4 ranges.
Originally put in service in 1961,it is very good shape and very heavy (700 lbs??) but the variable speed mechanism needs repair. Are these drives reliable once working?
Can I assume the motor spindle must be turning to make an adjustment?
