Like tape a cordless drill on to the gear that actually moves the drill press's chuck

?

You mean to this

Yeah

That would require a lot of ducttape

Oh, that makes way more sense

...i dont have a socket set

Just don't do what I just did and demo with a Gatorgrip and chew up the shaft by accidentally hitting the launch button

Thank you for your sacrifice

Yours doesn't look socket-able

But if it's under half an inch you can just chuck it up

If it's over, I dunno, dowel in chuck, short length of tubing to go over dowel and shaft, pipe clamps over both?

That might be both the jankiest and cheapest solution

Just make a dowel, you have a drill press and an internet connection to watch Matthias Wandel

Hey I'm retarded

And any onlookers are too if they haven't come up with this yet

Sec

>chew up the shaft by accidentally hitting the launch button

ouch

Only mildly annoyed I didn't rename that to sounddocking.jpg

@Mirurin (真的華人時刻) only minor cosmetic damage thankfully

I mean it drills holes more or less true but I cant figure out what the hell is with the rattle

Inb4 John accidentally photographs his face in something reflective

Right. So test the two things independently

It might be because I dont have it bolted down amd its on my floor

Eh

Maybe

Turn it on and wiggle it around and hold parts to see if it stops

But yeah. Latest pic. Do that. Test spindle bearings.

Shaft has some play but the gears themselves are solid

With belts removed obviously

Oh wait, I'm retarded, just noticed there is a chunk of belt that is fucking toast.

This is going to need replacing

I could have sworn it looked mostly fine before too

Oh, problem solved

How are those red adjustable sized belts? They advertise that they're quieter, but I can't even remotely imagine that being the case.

Didn't mattias Wendel do a vid on them?

People report mixed things about them
