This was a pretty cool project, allowing me to tackle new challenges. I hope you could get inspiration and improve your own drill press with some of these ideas. Thanks, everybody!

@ruly4000 Год назад

you're a f.... genius !

@thomasevans3097 Год назад

Possibly your best video yet! With the Gooseneck shield plastic, why not change where it mounts to the drill so the goose neck doesn't need to bend as much?

@jw200 Год назад

What drill press is this? Is it precise ? How much runout on spindle? Powerful enough for 10-13mm steel?

@MariusHornberger Год назад

@jw200 all questions are answered here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hhrYrKy-BGs.html

@fgbhrl4907 Год назад

I wonder if the plywood slot cover for the table might have been easier if you'd just filled it in with something like a silicone rubber? Put mold release on the slots, and maybe use putty fill in undercuts to make sure the shape doesn't lock into the table permanently.

@court2379 Год назад

Great work as always, but he made one glaring mistake. He bought a drill press instead of a bench top mill! 😉 Marius I should also mention, you get to breathe whatever comes out of a mist system. I have never seen one using oil, probably for that reason. All the ones I have used have a water based coolant. I don't know that it is really all that much better than oil, but seems more likely to be. Water based coolant will swell your table insert though... I was thinking just fill it with epoxy, but maybe that is a bit too permanent.

@TheKlickitat Год назад

One of the best projects on RU-vid. I honestly believe that this should be a required project for every engineering student. This project covers so many practical skills. I would highly suggest creating curriculum for this project and selling it to tech and engineering schools. This would be a great way for you to earn from this project and any professor or instructor will instantly see the value in it. If you can make a complete parts list, plans and instructions, you could sell the kits and the course for healthy money and remember that selling a course like this to schools is not the same as selling to individuals and you should talk with educators about what a curriculum like this is worth. You will be very shocked at what it is worth.

@@silicon.alchemist Be poor. My dad grew up through the depression, and even after he retired, he never had enough money for expensive tools. He did everything with hand tools, other than his first power drill at age 50 (1965). Even only had hand saws, that he sharpened himself. Oh, he borrowed a skil saw when he had to rebuild our porch, but other than that, used non power tools. As I grew and made enough to buy myself a shop full of power tools, I was still amazed at what the previous generations did with elbow grease as their only 'power' behind their tool work.

@jamesmahon838 8 месяцев назад

This press has worked like a charm for my projects ru-vid.comUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

@georgedennison3338 8 месяцев назад

Here's one more upgrade I did on my own dp, you might like it, as well. Drill chucks are good to about 0.003" TIR, (total indicated runout). In changing the drill motor of mine, I discovered the spindle had TIR of 0.0002". It was being wasted w/ the chuck. A precision chuck w/ low TIR was out of my price range, but I happened to see an ER32 collet chuck w/ a J33 taper mount on eBay for $35. Perfect fit. The low price doesn't account for the ER32 collets, but I have a lathe & a tool grinder, (in the works), already using ER32. Installed, TIR is now 0.0001", & chuck capacity is ¾"+. I thought the hassle of changing chucks would make the upgrade a no go, but it is not that big of a bother, given the precision, capacity & no drills turning in a chuck. A big, big win, to me

@arthurwilliams3479 Год назад

Well done. I had an old French Tapping drill press that had switches built into the quill extend handle that would automatically reverse the motor when tapping to a certain depth, which you can imagine would be very useful. Would be an interesting upgrade to see you recreate on that drill press.

@Gottenhimfella 10 месяцев назад

I have a French designed and built Cincinatti Turret Milling machine with the same feature. I can tap holes to at least M16 in steel, and repeatedly tap to within 0.2mm of the tap running into the end of a blind hole (there's a very precise depth stop which reverses the motor, but I can also just let go of the button in the end of the downfeed lever, if I sense the tap is about to break, perhaps from uncleared chips). With (high-quality) spiral flute taps, it makes power tapping a dream.

@WeGoWalk Год назад

Love the ideas and the execution. Three ideas on this upgrade: First, it may be faster, easier, and a better fit if you had simply filled those key slots in the cast iron table with an epoxy material. Then it’s just a matter of sanding the epoxy level with the table. Of course, you could probably make that filled epoxy removable by simply coating the internal surface of the table with release agent prior to the pour. Second, a vacuum system that sucks up wood and metal cuttings might be an alternative to “blowing” the chips away. Most woodworkers already have a vacuum system in their shops to connect to. You could rig the vacuum system to turn on when the bit is plunged and turn off 6 seconds after the chuck returns to its home position. This might also eliminate the need for the safety shield. Third - oh, heck, I’ll just email you about this one…NICE WORK!

@Guggu3d Год назад

Was thinking epoxy too. Can't imagine that the wood will stay nice and flush for very long once oils and the likes will get into the crevices. But looks great for now!

@mdoering 7 месяцев назад

Before he got to that portion of the video, I actually thought that's what he'd done using tinted epoxy or potting compound for electronics. I do wonder though if the simplest method would have been a piece of steel plate with counter sunk screws threaded into the original casting, or with studs welded to the bottom to facilitate the use of step blocks to clamp to the under side. Either of those last two methods would retain the ability to use the T-Slots if needed similar to his solution, while also providing the same magnetic clamping ability and acting as a sacrificial surface for mishaps.

@bradley3549 Год назад

Beautiful work. I've brainstormed the electric table lift and lock idea myself extensively, and in my testing the clamping could have been done with another worm drive gear motor. Little heavier on the electronic side of things. One thing I considered was using a spring so the default position is locked, and use the gear motor to compress the spring. Similar to an air brake. And I think you should have done the same - use air to release the lock as opposed to using air to tighten the lock. The magnetic vise though, that's brilliant. One of those things that is now so obvious in hindsight.

@MariusHornberger Год назад

Thanks, man! When brainstorming, I also considered another motor but thought pneumatic would be simpler. I see your point about the spring, which is a good idea. I think it would have been more difficult to include the cam lever clamp

@@MariusHornberger I hadn't considered the auxillary cam lock, which itself is a brilliant idea. Conceptually I think it still would work - just in reverse from the current configuration. A cam lock with a heavy handle to make sure it stays in the locked position by gravity might be necessary though. I'll have to think about that a little more!

Be sure to send me pictures if you decide to bring this idea to life

Very nice! Might I suggest on the T slot filler, try a pour-able filler like a very firm polyurethane using a release agent if at some time you may want to use the T slots

This is a fantastic set of modifications. They are new, but now that I’ve seen them, they are all necessary. As far as the guard goes, what if you put a second lightweight gooseneck attached on the right hand side? That would limit motion, but would allow the positions you showed, I think.

@MariusHornberger Год назад

Thanks Alan. Unfortunately there's no space for anything on the right

@@MariusHornberger The positional hose system you have for cutting oil and air could surely be modified to act as a goose neck. Not sure if you watch Adam Savage, but he uses it for relatively weighty worklight holders.

Great job Marius. Too bad most of us don't have your equipment to create such a magnificent device. I'm really impressed.

You missed the most important upgrade that should always be done first: *Fill the pillar tube with concrete.* It massively increases stiffness, almost turns it into a mill.

@MariusHornberger Год назад

Cool idea. Pretty obvious, but I didn't think I'd that yet. Thanks
