Let there be light
For some of us older members of the forum, one of the first signs of physical weakness is eyesight. This affects us in many ways such as not being able to see a scribed line or the point of a tool without very bright light.
I found out that you could now buy standard Edison screw halogen lamps and so fitted one into my drill press. The lamp is 50W 240V and gives terrific light so I thought I would share this with others who may suffer the same problem.
What's that, was I the last to know!!!

Nice one Trevor! What are the chains for?
BTW, after a trip to Major Panics' place early this year, I replaced the original chuck with a keyless one: best thing since sliced bread! Probably right up there with a halogen light on the list of must-haves.
Cheers,
P

The chains are to hold the chuck key on one and the steel wedge for removing the morse taper chuck shaft on the other. I did that so that I would always know where they are. I'm sure we all suffer from not remembering where we put small items fron time to time.

That light fitting is a great idea, Trevor. Did the drill come with it, or did you install it?
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Like the light and the chuck key chain , I put a magnet on the pully cover to hold the chuck key , but never remember to put it there, its marvelous the real good places I can find to put that chuck key ,
Think i'll fit a chain
