I just purchased a used drill press. The brand is Intergram and I believe the company is no longer in business (3/4 HP, 12.5 AMP is about all thats stamped on the plate). I searched to try to find info online, but nothing. Must have been pre-internet. How do I change the belts? They are worn and need changing. It is a 16 speed unit and has two v belts. and two pullys.

Thanks Dennis

If you have the belts, just take them to an automotive parts store and match them up to new ones.

You might be better off to replace the belts with link belts (Google - they're not hard to find). You can make them up to fit exactly and they'll run smoother.

I agree - this is what they look like
