UK - I think these drills are all over the world. I bought a VERY similar one maybe 5 years ago for around £40, now they are over £100. One wonders why electric hand drills are at least 600W and could break your wrist when the plate for this one says 100W. Mine sits on the dining table, they make quite a good food mixer too. Very tolerant wife. - nice pancakes. Mad? I hope so.LOL You have made a lovely job of restoration, they are a bit 'basic' but how could anyone let it get like it was. ***** young fellow.

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzbin.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

[@kanefame9254]

It made me happy to see someone actually do the right thing, and replace old bearings. They're usually pretty cheap and you really never see them in the end, so why not replace them. And the fact that you went with sealed ones, I'm impressed.

[@gear_show]

I am so happy to see this comment, thank you.

[@robertvasquez3964]

I saw your video it's really good and through. I'm new to this so I got a dumb question. How do I know what size or type of bearings I need. And where can I get them from. Thank you in advance.

[@marcmckenzie5110]

Wow - for starters, you are certainly humble titling this 'Easy & Simple Restoration." Yes, you didn't have to fabricate new parts, or hang from the ceiling while buffing paint, dodging arrows - I'd say this was a fairly ambitious project and you did a great job. I especially agree with comments about replacing bearings and picking period consistent colors. On the film making, I like that you used something like a green screen to keep the focus on your work, and the way you would tip the audience off on what to focus on - like showing the mallet first, or the larger drill bit against the smaller one to show you were testing a much larger bore. What would you consider a "Massive & Complex Restoration?" An old steam locomotive? And abandoned defense rocket? Ha! Very nice.

[@gear_show]

Thank you so much for your comments.

[@ronwalsh]

It's nice to see someone who actually replaces bearings in their "restoration" videos. Most just squirt some paint on the tools, but you have done it right. Thanks for posting. My little Craftsman drill press is coming apart tomorrow.

I don't know why KZbin thought I wanted to watch tool restorations but, I'm so glad these types of videos started showing up in my feed.

[@gear_show]

So, will you enjoy this video?

[@OohhHogan]

@@gear_show hell yeah dude. I've seen a few of your vids already. Feels good watching them.

[@mlb6d9]

This was like one of those videos where they find a skinny malnourished dog in the street, inches away from death - then gently pick it up, earn it's trust and nurse it back to full health. Watching this was JUST like that - nice restoration!!

[@wlehtola]

Watching you makes me want to outfit my shop entirely with old restorations. I guess I better start looking for buys

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Of all the hand tool restoration channels, I find I enjoy yours the most. There is one other guy who is (also) a true artist at this, but you seem to strike the better balance between functionality and the desire to make old things look new. After all, a tool is really meant to be used. Thank you for a great channel!

Fully disassembles and reassembles massive piece of machinery and fully restores each and every part. "Easy And Simple Restoration"

I wouldn't describe a 30 inch tall benchtop drill press as "massive", lol. He did a really thorough job on a very simple restoration.

[@alexh5725]

@@Explore-Gobal no, you're 100 percent right. It's just a feat of organization. I have some organization skills but I would get overwhelmed by this many parts. I don't disagree with you though. A drill press isn't massive.

WOW, that was an incredibly thorough overhaul and is certainly now better than new, with quality bearings and a better paint job. I have just recieved a brand new similar chinese no name drill press yesterday and am in the process of dissmantling and improving it. I appreciate your guide.

[@xThirdOpsx]

My grandfather has had an identical drill for decades, the only thing that looks different is the manufacturer. Just a few hours ago I was at his house, looking at that drill and thinking about restoring it.

[@Darius12235]

@FutureWinter Cox same reason why I'm watching this

[@ImDankMan]

Don’t hesitate, you can do it…

[@lourias]

I have the same drill with a different brand on the faceplate, also. I do wish I had the worm gear to adjust the belt tension. I have a fastener that requires 2 wrenches to set the tension.

[@rockobrocko]

it's always nice to see drills dancing chuck to chuck.

[@shawng7902]

Those bearing pullers are slick! I'm preparing to do a restoration. Hope all the bearings are ok. Mine is a 1960s floor model like this. Weighs 200# lol. It's my pride and joy. Any machine you find the older the better it seems. The plant I work at is full of them. Old cast iron machines that will run another 200 years. I use vinegar all the time to remove rust. I have a $80 harbour freight ultrasonic cleaner I use it in. It works phenomenal!

Definitely outshines a new one...

[@markharris5771]

It’s nice to see a restoration from the "cheaper" side of the market. There’s many drill presses still made to the exact same template today and in my experience are more than capable of most jobs. With the level of care and detail in this restoration I wouldn’t mind betting it’s even better than new. I would certainly be happy to buy it and use it. A great video as always, so many other 'restorers' would benefit from watching this video.

[@stormkhan4250]

I have inherited a drill press almost exactly the same as this one. It dates from around the mid 1970's I think and made for Ryobi. Thanks for putting up this video, I now know how to disassemble and restore mine too!

[@sniper31013]

Good job mash'Allah

[@myphone7568]

The actual manufacturer of this drill press must be the same as the one I have. Mine is branded Value Craft model 8050 and I have been looking for a resource for chuck replacement. Since the arbor and spindle are one part, I've been struggling to find anything. This video gave me exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!

I agreed your reflection is an exactly expression from taoism philosophy

[@cekiert]

Just replaced my 1983 chinese kff-6 with a new drill just like this one but with a light for 54$ after coupon at harbor freight(15$ off with google search giving me a coupon). That said I love your restoration video, I know my new one will wear out, and it's nice seeing a rebuild is simple. To be be honest your rebuild was way over done. The electric motor side bearings should last a damn near lifetime. But it was nice seeing it all being simple and easy to service

Nice work. There a lot of old neglected drills that can be brought back for the cost of a few new bearings and a little time. A couple of years ago, I went through a cast off drill similar to this one, and put it back into service with upgraded bearings, trued the spindle, and it's better than new.

Yes thanks i did find some useful things in this video that I had not seen before. Also, I have a very similar drill press which I restored functionally. Now i am tempted to give it the full treatment. I shimmed the pulley guard up a little to get rid of that annoying rattle, which on my drill press was caused by the pulleys catching the inside of the guard.

Back in the 60s we kids used to watch our father using his drill press but the difference being his press had a steel counterweight on the top and a geared handle to turn on the side. He always did some great jobs on that drill press.
