Drill Press restoration and upgrade part 4 - Quantum B160 T Vario

This video series introduces various small projects in an effort to restore and improve a bench drill press.
I had been working this project for almost two years; when finally I managed to finish it, my computer hard disk drive crashed. It was very frustrating for me because besides this project, a few more projects were lost as well. While I was trying to digest my mistake of not keeping backups, I decided to keep the hard disk hoping to find a way for recovering the data.
Eventually 4 years later and with the help from a friend some of the footage and pictures from this project were recovered. Anyway, I did the best I could with editing to give you the best possible idea of this project with the pictures and videos I had. I hope you enjoy it.
I said thank you to my friend Kostas many times for his help on this project, but I want to say it one more time. Thank you very much Kostas for your amazing work!!

Beautiful work! Great idea using the lathe to mill,well done. Thanks

[@JimmysCanal]

Thank you for the comment Tom, I'm glad that you like it! I'll not praise myself nor say that was total wrong on the way I found to mill the part, I'll rather say that perhaps was the unorthodox way of making it. Glad to share as always. Thanks again for the comment! Regards from Greece Jimmy

As always, great video! I will watch it again this evening, your videos always merit being watched two or three times. I hope that all is well and that the virus hasn't impacted your life too seriously. Your friend, Marc (That lazy and old machinist)

Hello Marc, Thank you very much, I'm very happy that you like it! Yes, everything goes well here, thankfuly the virus didn't affect my health except my work a bit (at the lockdown from March to June). For the time being everything seems that came back to normal - of course we must be very careful and take seriously all precautions. I hope your family and you my dear friend Marc (Thatlazymachinist) are well too!! Be well and safe Your friend Dimitris
