Harbor Freight Drill Press quick hack

[Weekend Warrior Welding]

My Harbor Freight drill press has been giving me problems (no surprise there). It would stop drilling through just about everything and when I tried to adjust the tension on the motor/belt/pulleys, it didn't help. I figured out a little trick that takes just a few seconds to do. I'm sure it's not OSHA approved or anything like that, but it will definitely help you while you work on a more permanent fix. If you have some ideas on how to permanently fix it, please leave a comment on the video. Also, if you like the video, please subscribe to my channel for more like this one. Thanks!
