Build to go a lifetime ahead

It'll outlast me easily!

thithis is a very unique and rare tool, if it exists in my country, I'm definitely very interested in having it... as my wooden tool...

[@rauschguitars]

They are very rare outside of Europe, but they're absolutely amazing!

[@dendyfebian9004]

@@rauschguitars oh of course, especially in my country, let alone antique tools like this, even for modern equipment, unfortunately in my country, many Indonesians are hard to find, even though the price will be very expensive, it can be 3 or 4 times the price in Europe ..

Nice job 👌 would love to use one of those

[@rauschguitars]

It's one of my favourite tools for sure!

[@imadethischannel]

Nice job! I have the same machine and I also made a little video about it. I didn’t take it all the way apart though because it was working fine and I didn’t want to do any damage to the mechanism. I do have one question. How did you get the springs back into the chuck?

[@rauschguitars]

My small screwdriver, some luck and a lot of patience got them back in.

I have one like this bit bigger what are they wearth

I paid 40 Euros for mine.

Hi! I have the same drill but mine is missing the spring and the pad of the brake knob 16:04 . Could you please tell me What material is it made of? Looks like steel. But i think the steel is too hard and will scratch and damage the shaft

[@rauschguitars]

It looks like copper or brass to me.

[@carmelofarrugia5855]

I have the same tool , but l don't use since today we use pillar drills more convenient, these come handy when we don't have electricity. 1930 they were made.

[@rauschguitars]

A powered drill makes so much more sense! I just have a thing for old tools, even if it's to my own disadvantage.

@@rauschguitars same goes to me l am 65 years old and l like vintage stuff , not the Chinese junk of today .

[@totheknee]

How much does this thing weigh? I need to bring one back on a plane...

[@rauschguitars]

Can't remember exactly, but I think it's around 20kg.

[@dredunav]

Hello, I have the same drill press in bad condition, mine is missing that red knob in one side, What it is used for?

[@rauschguitars]

The red knob is a grease dispenser that lubricates the shaft inside. I've seen them for sale before, but I can't remember what the part is called.

@@rauschguitars thanks for answer! :)

[@alleshelfer]

@@rauschguitars In german it is called Staufferbüchse because the right grease for this is Staufferfett

[@rauschguitars]

@@alleshelfer Amazing! Vielen herzlichen Dank!

[@MrKebab1997]

What do you use to clean the internals?

[@rauschguitars]

I used isopropyl alcohol. I'm sure there are better cleaners though, but that's what I had in the workshop already.

[@ConorMarnane]

I have one also, that looks almost exacly like this, also from the 1930s , but I am missing the chuck. I cannot seem to get a replacement chuck. Does anyone have one they might be willing to part with? I am willing to pay within reason.

[@rauschguitars]

I can't imagine many parts floating around. You'll probably have better luck finding a complete machine, depending on your location.

[@ConorMarnane]

Thank you. I'm fairly resigned to that. I haven't managed to figure out what the spec of it would be. The spindle is a 1.25 metric reverse thread 17mm ish diameter.

[@totheknee]

@@ConorMarnane Finding a machinist to make an adapter could be an option. I'm not setup to do internal threads on my micro lathe, but it is easy to do with "real" lathe.
