This is the very first thing I ever printed. The mounting tabs on the inside broke and the switch and wires would just dangle in the way. This isn't an exact copy. I used tinker-cad to make this replacement. This is close enough to the original that everything fits and works. The depth gauge marker can be glued back on I chose not to since I don’t use it. The mounting tabs are now thicker and slightly lager so they will be less prone to breaking. The original screws did work for this reinforced tab. I had to ream the holes slightly for this to work on a different off brand drill press but it did work fine. This should work on most cheap chinese mass produced 8 inch drill press similar to this one.
