Restoration of a 50 year old Huge Rusty Drill Press. Awesome result!
I got this drilling machine for the price of scrap metal. The headstock raise/release mechanism did not work, the headstock lock lever was jammed, the drill chuck was rusty and jammed, the on/off button was missing, all the electrics were rewound with duct tape. BUT the motor worked!
Restoration process.
First of all, I completely disassembled the drilling machine into parts. Some control levers were broken and new ones had to be made on a lathe.
I cleaned the parts of the hull using a paint remover and a rust converter.
I really like to use hammer effect paint on the body parts. Since the case is made of cast iron, it has an uneven surface and it is the hammer effect paint that hides all these irregularities, while the spray paint would only emphasize all the flaws.
During the repair was completely moved the engine. Rust was even on the rotor! Replaced all bearings and painted body.
The bearings on the spindle were also replaced!
In general, the work was not difficult but took a lot of time, and I will be grateful for the “thumbs up“ pressed so more people will see the video and I will compensate for the cost of repairing this drilling machine! THANK YOU
I enjoyed working on this project, and upon completion, I had another “helper“ in my workshop, who will often appear in the following videos.
So click “subscribe“ and be sure to “bell“ otherwise YouTube will not notify you about the release of a new video.
Good luck everyone and take care of yourself!
Sincerely, Max!
