Franco. Congratulations on the precision in the workmanship and in the method adopted, since I would like to make something similar for my column drill, I ask you if it is possible to publish at least a sketch with the dimensions of the various components? Thank you

Very nice. Are you planning on cutting oil groves connected to the oiling points? If not, you definitely should to make sure it gets lubricated properly

As always an incredible work done ! I hope we see soon some chips coming out of it !! But I have a question. Why you dont make the little plate in teflon ? so that way it can be put in contact with the slideways and provent some chips going in there

That plate will hold a swiper, that is why it's made out of steel.

I would try Isopropol or ethyl alcohol as a cutting fluid to drill & tap parts you are gluing together so you don't ever have any oil to clean off the parts. Talk to 3M, loc-tight, or Moglice if you need stronger glue

Good idea. However the raw metal comes already heavily oiled. Cheers.

Howdy! I have read about your background in electronics. What should I use to control the speed of a split-phase motor? Will an auto transformer work or? Thanks!
@AccidentalScience2 жыл бұрын
That kind of motors are meant to run at a fixed speed. An inverter would do the trick of varying the speed by varying the frequency however an additional circuit should be used to control the split-phase coil. An autotransformer would only change the speed a little bit at the expense of torque. I haven't thought much over this but apparently there is not a true answer to your question, or otherwise said no satisfying solution. Greetings from the Alps.

Where do you source these thick steel bars? Looking on ebay, I can only find a few mm thick stuff from here in Europe and the rest is from the US.
@AccidentalScience3 жыл бұрын
I bought a stock of bars from a local dealer. I recommend to look around for a retailer even though I understand that sourcing cold drawn bars is not easy.

The hole at the center of the table is there for a purpose.
@joejoejoejoejoejoe43912 жыл бұрын
@@AccidentalScience I totally agree, I don't think that I've ever drilled into a table, however judging by the condition of many drill press tables, not many people do know it's purpose, or care. I once saw a Dore-Westbury milling machine at a model engineering exhibition, it's table was finished almost like a mirror, as bright as you could possibly get cast iron, I'd be absolutely devastated to even scratch it. I have seen one milling machin that had a vice mounted in the middle of the table, and wooden covers over the rest of the table, not only does it make it easier to clean up ( and find small dropped parts... ) but also protects the table.

the work dancing up on you on the drill press will tear down all your precision efforts and it only takes a vise with long walls to hold it firmly so build one first before building a lathe. Also be sure to boltdown your drill press to a pavement block of reinforced concrete . . if the material you are dilling is hard, the work my twist and spin in seconds and can cause damage to your arm or even you and your shop . . I had experienced it so many times until I did so to my SMALL drill press . . so imagine what will happen with a big one like yours SAFETY FIRST
@AccidentalScience2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your hints. The drill press is actually bolted to the workbench, which in turn is made of heavy steel and the countertop is made of hard cherry-wood bolted to the steel frame. However because one of the bolts that keep the wood on top of the bench is missing (they missed it by design) the drill press have slight oscillations when pushed hard, but that wood is two inch thick and there is no way it would broke nor to detach from the steel frame.
