This press has worked like a charm for my projects ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-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!!
Looks beautiful, but at 22:21 you can see the run-out. If you can see the run-out with the naked eye, it's too much. You measured 0.13mm total when you pulled and pushed on the chuck by hand. I think that's your actual run-out. As a quick reference, If your run-out is 0.05 mm or less, you wouldn't be able to see movement at the tip. Maybe bearings should be checked or maybe time for a new chuck.
Loved the choice of color you went with . It turned it into a machine , that anyone would fill the obligation to take care of . and keep it clean and in good working order 👍👍👍
earth - elements - periodic table of elements ⬡ - chemicals - dilutions - S C I E N C E - efficiency - action and reaction forces - it is so beautiful, it will drill a hole to hang a ladle. i gave my Like. 👍
Outstanding restoration cobba, love the effort, time and care you've taken to restore this old beauty. I'm subscribing, can't wait to see what you come up with next. 👍
Well done, sir. Absolutely amazing restoration. The video production was equally good. I have a very similar drill press made by Delta in the 1950s which I have restored, but not nearly as well as the job you did. I've subscribed.
Really lovely restoration, I have done a few myself. What would be really handy is a list of equipment and processes, especially for things like the way you did the etching of the scale, I'd love to know what you were using.
Risky - the bearings in the spindle aren't made to take side loads, only axial ones. But the X-Y table will allow the drilling of accurately located holes.
I think I seen 5 but how many layers of paint did that base have on it?? Excellent looking restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it yourself!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
your drill press looks great! btw when you did install the super fast Indian noise that plays when drill? whatever that noise is , it sounds like the cheif trying to stop an earthquake solo
I agree that this was a very nice job, but I don't understand why people remove the old filler rather than cleaning it, filling small imperfections then painting.
No crappy music & no needless talking makes a good Video, very good restoration
Finally, someone who works smarter, not harder. Every other restoration of one of these they've all manhandled it from up top... great jon

You clearly know what you are doing. Nice work!

Классная реставрация! Всё до мелочей . Вы большой молодец! 👍
I'm always impressed with the process you used to make the dial finish.
Loved the choice of color you went with . It turned it into a machine , that anyone would fill the obligation to take care of . and keep it clean and in good working order 👍👍👍

That was a beautiful restoration! Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful machine indeed. They don't do that anymore today. Good job .👍

That will outlast all of us, our kids and grandkids. Excellent quality
Another perfect restoration. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the fantastic work.

In addition to a machine being functional, it should also be beautiful. This one is wonderful. Thank you.
You are an artist at repairing and restoration.
It is a genuine pleasure to watch you work.
Amazing job on the restoration. Your etching was icing on the cake. Thank you.

Very pretty little machine . I would to find the same.

very nice work, Subscribed ;-)
Excellent restoration - That small x-y table attachment will allow you to use this small
drill press to do some very light milling work.
Risky - the bearings in the spindle aren't made to take side loads, only axial ones. But the X-Y table will allow the drilling of accurately located holes.
I think I seen 5 but how many layers of paint did that base have on it??
Excellent looking restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it yourself!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Good job.
What made is it please?
Nice restoration.
Great job.
your drill press looks great! btw when you did install the super fast Indian noise that plays when drill? whatever that noise is , it sounds like the cheif trying to stop an earthquake solo

I agree that this was a very nice job, but I don't understand why people remove the old filler rather than cleaning it, filling small imperfections then painting.
Neat job!!!
