I like your very clever setup Only problem; drill presses make very poor milling machines.

Thanks for watching and commenting! This setup ended up working surprisingly well. I wanted to mill an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump and it turned out to work well and allowed me to precisely mill my project. I know it has limited ability but it did what I needed. Thanks, Kevin

It looks similar in build quality to my 1956 DeWalt MB RAS which is also pretty much all cast iron, mine's only drawback being that it takes a 9" blade, which, while they can be found are nowhere near as prolific as the 10" blades. Mine has a toggle on/off switch closer to the base of the arm on its right side which I am happy with. Never cared for those keyed switches, which, whenever I've had them, I super glue the key in place so there's never any chance of losing it.

Any milling at all on a drill press is dangerous without a drawbar to secure the taper on the chuck & i would not have any milling cutters in a drill chuck it will come loose even light milling, get your self a mill & be safe.

Upper part of the shaft of my drill press (cheap Chinese) is responsible for 90% of spindle play. Do you have any drawings or photos of such assembly?

@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop 4 ай бұрын

Hi, I don't have any drawings of my drill press and don't see a way to send you a picture of my drill press through this email portion of KZbin. My drill press seems tight and I do not have any play in the spindel. The lower portion supported by a large ball bearing, upper portion I can not see, but most likely is a sleeve bearing of some kind. Not much help to you, Kevin

I have this same machine in my shop from the 80s. It has been a good machine & my hands use it almost without the engagement of my mind. One upgrade on mine was to replace the original set-screw in the channel that allows the table to tilt. Mine now has a permanent set that can be altered if ever I want to tilt the table. Before, it tended to tilt of its own accord. I have several drill presses now, better ones, yet I go back to this one the most.

Large trusses are built with structural old growth lumber only which is typically 3X as strong as lumberyard material. Unless the building span is very small I would not recommend anyone building their own trusses. I am an engineer,

Nice job, the only comment I have is the Technium had a rear steel triangle and the front triangle is aluminum, so the lugs were glued where the steel and aluminum come together. They did have some frame failures with this method, so check carefully for any paint cracking on the lugs.

I was born in 1986😂... but on a little more serious note. I currently have 4 Drill Presses, the "youngest" is a Startrite Floor Type (Made in England) from 1998, then I have a very small bench model dating from 1982 (Taiwanese made), another bench model (Japanese) from 1979 and a huge bench type (Also made in Japan, but different manufacturer). This last one is pre 1966, but not sure which year exactly. Weighs in around 140kg (+/-300lbs). Build quality on the older machines are much better than anything new available from China nowadays.

I appreciate the feedback, it may be possible. I found it was easier to focus on the one side and get all the joints tight, positioned and the truss plate placed correctly. Once the one side is done it was quick easy to do the other side with everything locked in place. Thanks for watching, Kevin.

Great videos on the 40 . tip , important to grease threads on any threaded puller threads before use , if not under load threads may gall and seize sometimes damaging it beyond repair . greased threads also makes it easier to turn . i used a white calcium zinc based anti seize on all mine but any grease on hand will be better than nothing .
