The rack had broken in two pieces and would not lift the drill press table.

I loosened the two allen screws that hold the top assembly on the shaft. Then you should get two people to lift the top assembly off of the shaft. It was very heavy and awkward. I took some time to clean the shaft with a wire brush and then 220 grit sandpaper. Finally using 0000 steel wool to create a smooth surface for the rack and t able assembly to move freely. Thus, preventing binding situations that bound the rack in the first place. Then, you bring the table to just above the top of the shaft and work the rack into the threads and slide the table back onto the shaft. Make sure that you sure that the arrow on the rack is pointing up. Place the top assembly back onto the shaft, align it with the base, and tighten the allen screws.

1. During refurbishment of my 35+ year old floor drill press, I had to replace the broken rack. I ordered a new rack for a JET drill press which has the same rack.
2. I disassembled the drill press, removed years of dried grease and oil from the shaft.
3. The upper rack holder was cracked. I made a circular clamp of alumin um bar stock and epoxied/bolted the clamp over the rack holder, drilled a hole to allow fastening the stiffened rack holder to the column with the set screw.
4. The repair was successful and all functions to raise, lower, and rotate the table support plate are functioning.

The original rack broke under excess pressure by a novice operator that didn\'t realize there was a table lock that needed to be loosened before raising the table. Brute strenth was not the answer an

This rack worked for my Sears 137.229150 15 inch drill press. The rack is slightly shorter than original but that doesn\'t present a problem as the table still comes all the way up to meet the chuck so it\'s plenty long enough.

Others have described the installation process, but basically just loosen the set screws and li ft off the head, loosen set screws on top collar and remove it. Loosen the table lock handle and slide the table and old rack up and off, then put the new rack against the table gear and slide them down to the bottom as a unit. There is an arrow on the rack to indicate the top vs bottom. Reattach the top collar being sure to keep it level all around so the table will be able to turn easily. Reattach the head and secure the set screws.

Replaced Rack- use allen wrench to loosen 2 allen screws that tighten drill press head to the post, remove drill press head (it\'s heavy get help to lift it) lift head off post, you can then remove rack ring by loosening set screw and slide it off post, then slide drill press table and rack off post together, replace old rack with new, th e rack can just be lifted out and replaced with new rack from drill press table gear. Then hold together and slide table and rack back onto post, note up side of rack by arrow pointing up, then I had to replace my rack ring, if yours is okay just slide it back onto post with bevel facing down to hold rack in place on the angled edge of rack on the top, don\'t slide the ring down to tight against the rack it needs to be able to move freely when swinging the table around the post, tighten ring with set screw. Replaced Coil spring- loosen two nuts that hold coil spring and cover on and remove broken coil spring and cover, install new coil spring and cover, you will have to adjust spring tension by turning cover with spring a notch at a time until desired tightness. Hard to explain, but not really hard to do, I looked at youtube videos and still just had to figure it out as I did it. Good luck.

This rack was not listed as a replacement part for my drill press but the dimensions were the same and worked perfectly.

1. I removed the drill motor by loosening the set screws and lifted it off the post.
2 I removed the platform and rack by loosening and lifting off the post.
3 I cleaned the post and lubricated with oil.
4 I installed the platform and rack by sliding it onto the post. And secured the retaining clamp above the rack.
5 I installed the drill motor and secured it with the set screws.
