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.

[@wlehtola]

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

[@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.

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!!!

[@oby-1607]

From forgotten and neglected to loved and shining. Wonderful work.

[@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!

[@vidura]

This is like peaceful meditation of mind. Thank you man, this is much appreciated.

[@juanmanuelnikola2986]

I agreed your reflection is an exactly expression from taoism philosophy

[@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.

[@mantaship]

The Jacob's chuck and the post were my favorite parts. By far. Awesome.

[@jsangel567]

Wow! Awesome tear down and rebuild! Probably better than new!

[@gear_show]

Definitely outshines a new one...

[@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.

[@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!

Шикарная работа ! Молодец !!!

[@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!!

[@hootinouts]

Beautiful restoration. I've restored old neglected machines as well and its always satisfying.

[@tadeucampos484]

Excellent! Your work will help me restore my drill press. Congratulations and 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!

[@josephkotlar5184]

I just restored the same drill in December. It is very satisfying to see how easy it is.

[@antoniobavia6167]

A very beautiful work, thanks for sharing. I have a very similar drill press and I have never had bravery enough to start the restoration...maybe, now, I can start using your perfect job as example.

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

@@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.

Fantastic job buddy!! Great work thanks for sharing..

[@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.

[@facesmasher4216]

very impresive restoration of a drill press! but most important, i believe, is when some one like you, with your skills, takes pride and demonstrate to the world that there are lots of art involved in any mechanical field as longer you put all your heart & effort on what you do to make it happen by the way, this is a steal lol thank you for this great video bro

[@xinixxagnix201]

This is a genius restoration sir! Better when it came out of the factory.

[@octavioreynoso87]

So all this time I've been using cleaning material on my salads lol nice work man

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

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.

[@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

Anyone else or is it just me that fimds these resto vids quite relaxing to watch?

[@chipblock2854]

I just binged watch all your videos they were great. It reminds me of some meditations I have done in the past. The title of your videos should be: Zen and Restoration. The act of restoring everyday items.

[@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

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

forgot to ask. Was that a piece of webbing belt you use as a soft jaw?

[@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.

@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.

excellent job..will continue to watch your channel...looks brand new...keep up the great work.

I am so happy to hear that, thank you!

[@SDsailor7]

I did not see you lubricate the shafts for the handle and the one that goes up and down and also the vertical shaft that holds everything needs some lubrication so it don't rust. Other than that a very good restoration.Cheers

I also have one like that one made in Taiwan. And today I bought one that looked like yours before the restoration and it only cost me one dollar and it works! so I will be restoring it.Cheers

[@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.

[@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.
