Restoration of Drill Press | Bench Drill

This press has worked like a charm for my projects youtube.com/post/UgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp… . 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!!

Wow, that's high level stuff. That etching process looked like magic to me.

Another perfect restoration. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the fantastic work.

bringing machinery back from the dead is somehow magical.

Отличная реставрация! Привет из Беларуси! 🇧🇾

You should be very proud of that. That is a very nice job. Keep up the good work.

Finally, someone who works smarter, not harder. Every other restoration of one of these they've all manhandled it from up top... great jon

A beautiful machine indeed. They don't do that anymore today. Good job .👍

Nice restoration…other could learn a lot on how you did this…the right way !

I'm always impressed with the process you used to make the dial finish.

Absolutely amazing! Great job.
