Great re restoration. This drill press looked like a hopeless piece of junk, but you made it in to a useful tool again. I would liked to have seen how you rewired the drill press, but it's an excellent result. Thanks
Flywheel grinder at your local truck stop for the bed and base is the Only thing I would have gone the extra mile for, just to set off since you went the extra 100 miles. Nicely done.
If you weld it's better to do a 45 degree phase on both sides so the molten mettal can penetrate deeper into the component. Anyhow nice job bringing an old machine back to live. well done!
Have this same drill press. Heavy sucker. Pay $30 for it 5 years ago. Replaced the spring, Cleaned it up and put a new belt. Works great. Probably not the most precision’s drill press, but does the job, well.
A little bit oil and grease would have been nice while reassembling, to not repeat the whole process again the next time. Other things may also could be improved. Nevertheless excellent work there.
Not being in anyway skillful enough to carry out this type of work, it always amazes me how you remember where all the pieces go back! Love watching you do it.
These older Taiwan-built drill presses are very simple to break down and rebuild. There are literally dozens of RU-vid vids on the process, and they are all similar enough that you really can't get into trouble. You might be surprised at how intuitive it is to reassemble them. Like every skill, it just takes time and repetition. A drill press is a invaluable tool, and a great beginner project. Despite the funky handles, the fact that the table was in such good shape was a huge clue that this drill press was probably worth fixing
that thing looks solid, I wonder how much wobble you have in the spindle. The quill is much better than lets say ZX7016 as it has a grove in the quill. body Casting is a bit thin though. Still id be happy to get one like this one.
I'm about to start getting into these restorations and I'm curious what do you do for the parts that are finished to the bare metal again. Do you put any oil on the surface or no? I guess I'm just curious about it rusting again and is there something to do for that. Thanks and great work brother
Welcome to youtube restoration videos. Not a smidge of grease in parts, not showing if the motor runs quietly (it doesnt), horrible colour selection and in the end it runs like a dog.
I would love to see him use this to drill a 1/8 and 1/4 inch alloy steel plate. You should probably replace the motor to make it work. Every mechanical piece looks fine... except from the fact that this drill press was manufactured with parts that require a certain tolerance fit between parts. When it rusts it chews up a thin layer of the surface, and after you sandblast and polish youre reducing the fit even more. So if your machine needs a 0.0005" tolerance. Youll probably end up with 0.002" after restoration.
все красиво, но не все проблемы решаются краской. С мотором-то что? Если он так заржавел, то лак на обмотках тоже сильно пострадал. И краска тут не поможет. Ну и мелочи, вроде пескоструйки сопрягаемых поверхностей. Кто в теме, знает, что так нельзя.
Two questions, please: When you reassembled the press, it looked like you greased some points, but not others. May I ask what parts of the internal mechanism that you greased, please? Also, I love the polished surface, but what is frustrating for me is how quickly the exposed iron rusts. I've tried Johnson's Paste Wax and other sprays, but haven't found that they last very long. What do you use, please?

Hey. I have an aluminium tripod lamp. The look is of brass. It has lost its shine and has become dark. I painted it with a golden colour but I feel I have destroyed it even more. How can I save the lamp?
Usually in such videos do not disclose the cost of the work and the amount of time spent, if you gave at the end of a table with this data and a list of chemicals used, it would be a feature of the channel and probably would have attracted advertisers specified in the list.
