Nice price, if it doesn't need work, it's a copy of the similar Delta model, so close many of the parts are interchangable. A manual should be available on the King Machinery site.

King Canada Has been around importing Taiwan copies for a very long time. I have a King drill press that I bought in 1989 and they had been around a while then.

A couple of years ago I rebuilt a Delta DC-380, all of the copies I have seen are 2 HP, I have seen quite a few DC-380's and they were all 3 HP, as is mine.

The rebuild went fine but I couldn't find a supplier for the elevation screw I ordered the King elevation screw and it fit fine.

The full rebuild is on my blog. Here is the picture of it cleaned up after the trip home, but before starting the rebuild.

In this picture rebuild done ready to work.

So how well did it go? For a test run, I started out with this 2 X 6, after a couple of passes on the jointer to flatten one side.

The results after 3 passes. I'll take that.

Great finish and no snipe.

Yes Steve I like that long roller bed alot too. Good built in adjustment too, you don't see that on all the import copies. The paint could use a few touch ups, but I couldn't source a good match. The best I could do was what you see on the dust hood, but the planer wasn't to bad, so I didn't try very hard.
