Third cone pulley for a walker turner drill press.

[bruce5918]

I want to install a third cone pulley on the column of my walker turner drill press so I can reduce the rpm for metal milling work.
Any suggestions where I get the parts?

Maybe replacement parts from one of Grizzly's drill presses?

Check local machine shops or online marketplaces like eBay for the parts. Make sure they match your needs and your drill press's motor can handle it.

Place a wanted ad on OWWM.org, that site is dedicated to old woodworking machines.

That question assumes that absolutely all Walker Turner drill presses are identical. That's really not the case.

Hi Bruce,

Here's a start: McMaster-Carr

You can also do an internet search for cone pulley. There are quite a few different available.

You will need to know the bore diameter, the minimum and maximum diameters you desire, as well as the size belt you have.

Good luck,

Rick

That answer is obvious but it does not identify sources. Thanks

What Rick said. I bought a replacement 3 sheave pulley for my 1950's vintage Benchmaster mill from..wait for it..Amazon.

These people sell some Walker Turner parts and it may be that they have accessories like the slow speed attachment.

Walker-Turner Serviced Machinery, LLC | Coventry CT

Here's the slow speed pulley for the common 900 series presses. It appears to have something like a water pump bearing embedded in the center of the pulley.

EBay will be your best bet since you'll not likely join owwm.org just to buy an aggressively sought after accessory.

@bruce5918 how many steps are you looking for and what is the shaft size?

I have one, but I think it is a 5-step pulley and I added a bushing for a 1/2" shaft...
