What tension do i need on the belts of my ptbm500c3 pillar drill
In general, belt tension can be adjusted by turning the adjusting bolts located on the motor pulley or the driven pulley. These bolts can be tightened or loosened to increase or decrease the tension on the belts. It is important to set the belt tension to the correct specification to ensure proper performance and to prevent damage to the belts or other components.
Need replacement pulley for a Delta DP350
I had the same problem and searched extensively for a replacement
pulley, but couldn't find one. I thought I'd try something else and
began looking at Love Joy variable speed pulleys. They function the same
way and are much heavier duty that the cast pewter used by Delta. The
one problem, they are EXTREMELY expensive. Tried ebay and found a number
of different brands and sizes. I recently found and purchased a Reeves
variable speed pulley 850C 5/8" bore & 5" OD off of Ebay for just
under $30. Well, the motor shaft is just under 5/8" but larger than
9/16" so I was going to use a metal 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD spacer as a shim
and file the inside down to the motor shaft diameter, which would
definitely work. Fortunately I had an old 1/2 HP motor from an old
drillpress and it had a 5/8" shaft. Dropped the Reeves pully right on
and mounted it on the DP350 and it ran like a charm. It's a little off
of alignment and I had to cut a hole in the top cover for the Reeves
pulley to protrude out an inch or so, but other than that it works
great. My only fear is that the front pulley might explode now. Guess
I'll have to wait and see. I'll bet there'll be a lot of searchers for a
5" OD variable speed pulley on ebay! Hope yours works as well as mine!
Is there a place I can get a manual for the Delta
yes, go to "dewaltservicenet.com" and type in your model number as you list it and you can download the manual. It is 18 pages long. If you need more assistance let me know and if I have helped you would you please vote accordingly. Thank you

How do you remove the
there is a "drift pin" that came with the tool, you would need to insert it into the slot and tap on it.
I need a new switch for a delta 11-960c drill press
My table saw switch quit working and I got the runaround in trying to get a replacement. What I ended up doing was fastening an electrical box over where the old switch was and installed a wall light switch like you have for a light in your house. This has worked about five years now with no trouble.
