In this video I'm restoring my antique Ixion hand-cranked drill press. Figuring out an exact year, although the best guess would date it somewhere in the 1940's.
The drill was still functioning well. Having bought it used about 2 years ago though, I had no idea when last it received any type of maintenance. In order to avoid future issues, I decided to strip is down and re-grease everything.
I didn't do paint treatment for this restoration. While there is some corrosion, it's really not bad enough to warrant repainting. I'm hoping to keep the original paint for a few more years at least.
This machine will be used frequently in my workshop, and as such I decided to go for a functional, rather than full restoration.
