Discussion for the Delta 14-040 TYPE 1 Drill Press
I have a 14" Delta Drill Press with bad spindle threads for the chuck (Unable to rethread them). I am not having much luck finding a replacement spindle. I have been able to find a new chuck though. Does anyone have any idea's as to what I can do? Short of welding it on solid. Can I interchange any of the other model spindles? TIA. :)
Good luck. The problem with delta is. It now belongs to Dewalt. And they obsolete more and more parts every day. :mad: or just over price them. bust out the welder.
Does anyone have a source for a manual for the Delta 14-040 drill press. Also, any idea when this tool was manufactured? The serial number is R 8732. Any help would be appreciated
Hi,
I tried DeWalt's website, (Delta is a division of DeWalt), and went to the parts link. When you put in the model # of your tool it will bring up the parts break down. It also will give you a link to click on to open if you want to download a manual. I tried that but it said aa online version is not available at this time.
It might be worth a shot going there and send them an email and requesting a manual and see what happens. I also tried to Google a manual to no avail. Good luck.

I have a copy of the manual. Looks like your machine was made in the late 80s
