Hello there. How did you exactly weld the cast iron parts back up? I bought an old drill press today but it has a small crack that i would like to repair. Thanks in avance. Friendly greetings.
It’s a method called brazing, similar to welding except more difficult and it uses bronze to fill the cracks. It’s very difficult to weld iron castings on old machines like this, so they are typically brazed instead.
Shazam! That was work work & work! Well done congratulations! The drill looks fantastic!
