That sure looks like a 3-phase plug on the drill press to me, but I'm not an electrician. Are there 3 "hot" legs on the shut-off switch in that gray box?

Before going thru all the trouble to get it wired up, grab the chuck and see if there is any "slop" in the quill, which is the part that moves it up and down. If it wobbles any at all side-to-side in any direction, then the quill is worn out. I've seen a lot of those older Delta drill presses like that, heavily used and ready for the scrap heap.
 
Don't know anything about the stuff you got but I do like the word free. It maybe old and a lil outdated but for free it think it might just work.
Sweet deal....

No play at all. Dont really think this thing was beat up so much or seen power in who knows how many years since it was stuff in a stoage room.

Eric,

Good to meet you at Mark's

Have fun with this stuff and keep it up.

I sold the same drillpress as that for $400 last fall.

Eric,

Me thinks that the almighty Pinhead is right and that is 3 phase...get another motor for that thing, pretty simple to do. You might be able to get a phase converter as well. I know nothing about 3 phase.

That Miller 200 mig that you have there looks like it has a spot timer built into it. That is what you need for the type of welding we were doing on Gene's truck. You don't "need" the spot timer, but it sure makes it easier and it tends to look nicer too.

Charles if a fan of those old Miller 200's as well.

Stick welders are handy for a few things. You can weld cast iron with them, you can hard surface, they are also great for welding dissimilar metals and dirty metals like farmers often have to when doing repairs . For example, you can weld two different kinds of steel together when doing a repair (hardened steel tooth to the mild steel frame of a land scape rake or plow for example - dozer blade tooth is another example). I found almost zero real use for the one I had and used mig or tig most of the time, but they stick process is here to stay.

No SKP-35 spot panel on the MM200. I have the spot panel, but have not tried it out yet on my MM200 welders.
 
that drill press looks like a real score! lots of times the old heavy duty machins are way better than anything you can buy now...in our carpentry shop we have a few machines that are from the 60's and they are brutes. enjoy the free tools

charles. the miller hasnt been to good latey. remember how i replaces the liner! well cable still gets jam up and stuff. could it be the whole gun?

Eric,

What mig gun are you using? If you have a real old gun, it might be worth replacing with something newer.

Also, do you have the drive roll lined up? Proper tension?
