Thanks pottz. While I am at it, I wanted to post a picture of a broken "knock-off" bracket on a North Bros drill press to see if anyone else reading this would have one that I could get some dimensions from. The right side vertical post is missing from this one. The purpose of the knock off is to flip the direction lever when the screw goes to a certain point which in turn is supposed to prevent the mechanism from jamming. Also changes feed from ratchet to friction. This is on a NB 1005 press.
Drop out of warp and prepare to be boarded. Mike southwest CO
