    Unhappy Drill press capstan

    Hi, I have a second hand TOOLMAC drill press (16 speed mod.# 82532408). Two of the arms have a stripped thread and so are wobbly. I've tried thread repair epoxy and winding thin copper shim on the thread but neither has been successful.
    Can anyone help whether a new capstan can be purchased for this model?
    Thanks,
    Malthemender (can't mend my drill press though )

    Use or have someone fit Helicoils - good as new - or better.

    Thanks Joe I'll follow that up. Haven't used them before so I'll need to do some homework!

    All the best
