need help finding this switch for my drill press

[intercooler 41]

I have an old drill press that was given to me and i got it to work, but it needs a new on/off switch

the old one is in the picture below. the switch is a lever that pivots and has a detent in it. it clicks on then recenters almost like a breaker . can anyone point me to where i can dind its replacement? it screws onto a plate that then is held by screws to the frame in a box cast in the motor

wires attach by screws to the body, 2 per side

has 10a 250v -12a125v on it

the machine is 110v

there is a rod that attaches to the lever that is used to activate the switch from the front of the machine

 

here is the patent info i found from the number on it

Did you try appliance parts.com?

 

If they don't have it, McMaster.com or grainger.com is where I would try to find industrial parts like that.

i looked on grainger, but there are thousands of switches and i don't know what this is specifically

For fear of stating the obvious. the manufacturer is Cutler-Hammer. Have you tries their catalogue? Really doesn't look to special.

Can you bypass that switch and install another on? You could use some butt splices to hard wire where the old switch was then just install a simple toggle switch in a box on the power cord side. Might be easier than trying to find the exact switch, especially if it's an old model press. What make is the drill press?

[intercooler 41]

the press is made by delta. I figured i'd look for the correct one before i put somthing else in there

Call the manufacturer and get the part number search for the part number on the net and it may come up with something.

I think any single pole single throw switch would work. If it has 3 speed it's single pole triple throw switch if you could slow and speed up the motor with the switch it's called a potentiometer. As long as its 120v single phase

Find the part number of the drill press. Give Delta a call they used to be pretty good about stocking repair parts
