Drill Press Restoration | Easy & Simple Restoration

[@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.

[@fonziefrank609]

My Man!!! Took the Rusty Parts off Bare Handed like a Champ!! Gloves on for the Fresh & Clean!! Piecing it back together. You Did a Great Job!! I Love Restoring old and Rusted Tools. It's like a Snickers! VERY SATISFYING!!!

[@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.

[@yoruhana190]

Still so many donts and whys.

[@johntheoldmod]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@victorvega8800]

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!!

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.

[@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.

@@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.

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!!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@jp-um2fr]

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.

[@glennmoreland6457]

Hi from England You've clearly worked as a fitter...or in some similar capacity somewhere as your demonstrating strip & assembly skills that we're not seeing from some of the others carrying out "restorations" in here... I'm an electrician myself...but I've worked in various engineering environments all my working life... A service/freshen up to a good standard here.. 👍

Hi from Gear Show I am so happy and get more confident on myself after read your comment. I will continue to improve myself. Anyway thank you so much for away watch my videos and give me some feedbacks and suggestions.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Great restoration. I'm just restoring an almost identical drill press, so this video is particularly useful. Was not aware of angle grider buffing pads, so will be adding them to my shopping list. Thanks

Great work! I think that revive some old machine is better than pay some new without ani precision!! Thank you to show me how the drill press is made!!

[@mariano_353]

Wow! Truly a masterclass. I'll surely come back to this video once I muster enough balls to replace the chuck on mine. I have an almost identical one (Chinese "put your brand here") Cheers

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Wow. Quite a restoration there. Mine is basically the same but you've given me some view of what's causing my drill shaft to wobble slightly and now i know it's the lug screw on the right hand side, i might be able to put it right.. thank you for posting this video mate

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.

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

[@mikemarler8224]

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.

To clean the rust, you can also use products to clean the limestone, such as anti-limestone acids. The results are much more satisfying. thanks for the video tutorial.

Great video - really nice restoration. I much prefer locktite to grease on bolts as it secures it better and can still be removed. When drilling use cutting (light) oil as it lubricates the drill bit to reduce friction and makes it drill easier and reduce heat, both desirable.
