Inside a Drill Press

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks grandpa for this awesome tool!!! I miss you

[@williammorris1763]

You had me at middle finger. 🙂

[@hermannausowl]

Hallo Marius, eine Frage, die mir seit Jahren durch den Kopf geht, bist du mit Eugen Hornberger verwandt?

[@MRrwmac]

Marius, I’m sure your Grandfather is glad to see you upgrading his drill press and especially that you are going to be using it. I’d put a little sign on it, "Grandpa’s Drill Press”.

[@lukeamato2348]

That tachometer is a nice touch

[@BrockGrimes]

Light and auto oiler?

[@iolithblue]

I think you have honoured grandpa with that restoration and upgrade. Nice work

[@TheJuicyBurger]

"I don't really know how to do that so I'll just do it" - inspirational advice. Thanks

[@madpedalboards]

OMG, loved the speedometer! So old school and new school at the same time. Great work as always.

[@cschuh4695]

Awesome rebuild... I especially like the way you sunk the base into the cabinet... I just bought a new drill press, and I may attempt that "sinking procedure"...

[@DIYBuilds]

Awesome work. Those bonus switches have me excited to see what's next.

[@nerknerk8834]

Your grandfather would be proud of you, I love the idea of disassembling the old bearing to press in the new one. I never thought of that. Great video!

[@antonoat]

What a great job you’ve done, I’m sure your Grandpa would be very proud and pleased.😀 Years ago engineering was seemingly better in many ways than today 👏👍😀

[@RuiVascoMonteiro]

Tools built for quality and to last, vs. tools built for a budget and planned obsolescence

[@antonoat]

@@RuiVascoMonteiro Totally agree with you and isn’t it a shame! 👍😀

[@hyundaiverna]

Man that is a very sturdy, very well designed drill press! It deserves all the love and attention, even more because it came from your grandpa. Make him proud and use that tool to make awesome projects.

[@Lucas_sGarage]

I'm sorry for your loss, a grandpa is definitely a special person for men, it's like a second father, I'm sure that he is proud, God bless you and your family, take care:)

[@tjkoker]

I just found your channel and thoroughly enjoy all your content. This one is a great one to watch. Your grandfather would be so proud. His legacy will live on through you. Well done!

[@JustineArchibald-yj5jt]

Led me to think

[@bradnichol6024]

I would usually make fun of someone for a spelling error in a video title, but you do such a good job of making these videos to show us so many very cool modifications/upgrades of tools and machinery, that I will instead kindly suggest an edit to spell the word RESTORATION* Also, Rest In Peace, Grandpa.

[@viliusm.8232]

You are amazing, Marius! I come to watch these videos, not to make stuff like you do, but because they are so entertaining and fun to watch. Your brilliant sence of humour and that is also a sign of great intellect :)

[@atonyekha9106]

Your channel is amazing, you deserve millions, millions subscribers

[@acanadianwoodworker]

This video is incredibly dense with stuff I have no idea how to do - truly watching a futuristic magician at work!

[@fanlou1698]

That a great job to restor like you did your heritage !!

[@vizionthing]

Did anyone else see Aardman Studios turn up for that vise assembly? Outstanding video - the knolling thumbnail should be on the merch store... Grandpa is no doubt very proud.

[@mayflowerlash11]

I LOVE THIS. I have been given a "free" drill press and I think it needs maintenance, probably disassembly, repair, reassembly is more appropriate. This vid will help enormously. Thanks.

[@DonDeTango]

Also ich gebe zu, ich beneide Dich um diese tolle Bohrmaschine! Wieder zeigst Du das, was Du anpackst, dann gleich in Perfektion! Die analoge Drehzahlanzeige, nochdazu so schön beleuchtet, das ganze ist ein absoluter Traum!!! Wirklich Top geworden!!!👍👍👍🤩😍

[@stoneholme6743]

I echo the comments below regarding your grandfather... When rebuilding industrial pumps years ago we used to warm our bearings in mild oven. They would then just drop over the shaft and lock on when they cooled. Don't know if that process would have an adverse effect on sealed bearings. With your skills and experience you should consider establishing yourself as a design consultant to companies building industrial machinery. Your insights, attention to detail, creative problem solving and passion for simple yet extremely accurate operation are sorely needed. Good job.....

[@Rsama60]

In 50 years from now there will be a KZbinr (or whatever platform there will be in future): „Let me show you this precious, accurate drill press I got frome my grandfather Marius“ Frohe Weihnachten.

[@misterikkit]

What a delightful restoration. I hope using this tool brings up fond memories of your grandfather

[@dingsda5660]

Sehr geil umgesetzt! Ich guck deine Video's sehr gerne! Schöner Humor, unaufgeregt... Kreativ..... keine Effektheischerei..... Mach genau so weiter, und genieß die "neue alte" Maschine.... habe selbst einige Maschinen geerbt, und Sie zu benutzen hilft mir, diese Person immer wieder in guter Erinnerung zu haben...... Frohe und ruhige Weihnachten Dir!

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

And you know that when that drill was made, it was of way better quality than those today. Much respect for you doing all this work to revive Grandpa's drill press and improve upon it. I, too, had been give a hand electric drill from my late paternal grandfather, a Craftsman as was the drill. All metal frame from the late '50s. User is for many years despite the weight of it, but had to retire it due to electrical hazards that cropped up. I wish I had kept it as I have learned so much about reviving old quality tools and would have LOVED to have been able to do so for Grandpa's drill.

[@MariusHornberger]

You can buy similar and better quality today too. It's just more expensive. This drill new today would also be in the range of 1000-2000€. Today's market also offers more of the cheaper stuff that isn't good

[@sinisatrlin840]

I have exacly same drill press that i have obtained at the scrapyard, only it was sigle phase and table was broken. Sometimes i repair mehatronics on scrapyard machines and i am allowed to take everything i want. I have replaced all the bearings, machined middle pulley to accept two bearings instead of one, installed 1,1kw 3 phase motor, Installed 1,6m high column out of stainless so now is free standing instead of table standing. I have filled column with scrap metal and concrete, installed 60kg 30mm thick steele plate under the stand. Installed used Yaskawa inverter and Eaton (Moeller) buttons and pot. I have made new table and table arm out of thick steele, table and arm was cold blued. I have purchased only bearings, belts and Eaton buttons, everything else is from scrap, for example, stainless column is from brewery, i have only made new bottom flange and polished it in lathe. One other thing, Yaskawa is programed with DC breaking function so quill stops in 1/3 of second when you press stop. There are more of us who want to pimp our tools🙂

[@frrapp2366]

Nice old drill press , the lock ring is similar to wheel nut and axle lock rings , socket work good to drive bearings and seals on things for those without a lathe-- over 60 years old now and Still have MY Lego's

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

There's a reason why this is *Matthias* favorite channel, folks.

[@teej008]

I’m sure your grandfather would be proud. Nice work

[@terrymoorecnc2500]

I have the Harbor Freight version of your drill press that my Father gave to me back in the 70's. Made in Taiwan. Still runs quite well and looks new. Good job.

[@amazingwood]

Endgeil, wie sich am Ende der Schraubstock "selber" zusammenbaut!!! Viel Arbeit für das Stückchen Film, aber super gemacht!! Insgesamt tolle Restauration. Und dem Opa ein Andenken gesetzt. Lob und Anerkennung!!

[@beautifulsmall]

Great to see you measure the full extension runout, proffesional. Nice work.

[@garycaruso4883]

Great project! whenever pressing bearings use some grease on the shaft, helps prevent galling and makes it easier.

[@zokraft]

heating the bearings with a heat gun for a few seconds can make them slide really easy

[@Monfred2008]

Schön, dass die alte Maschine bei dir ein neues nützliches Leben hat !

[@osmbsmy.706]

I'm always impressed with old motors. They were overengineered and really just last forever. Great editing!. We love your content, love your projects, but REALLY love the presentation. A week of filming cut down to 16 minutes, but such a good watch!

[@swampy1584]

Nice job Marius Grandpa would be pleased

[@oferel79]

Great upgrade!!! I just had the chance to restore one very similar to your, that i got for free from a neighbor. It was standing out at the yard for years so it was rusted and full of crap. Had so much fun restoring it!!

[@andreaslindner8477]

Very nice video. I have to get such an old drill press, they used to know how to make these things. And congrats to the animation of the self assembling vice.

[@davidmontgomery1016]

I think your grandfather would be pleased with the restoration and impressed with the upgrades. I know I'm impressed with the upgrades. Nice work.

[@ericbuehler7858]

Awesome refurbishment video! Another instance of "They don't build them like they used to". And you've gained a really nice family heirloom.

[@veronica5896]

Awesome, as always! Your Grandpa must have been so proud if you, and probably still am!

[@efektmurowany]

It really was a pleasure to watch this 👍👍😃

[@artdiab3078]

I'm so sorry for your lost, may his soul rest in peace and I wish you and your family a long life.

Hello!! Send a direct message ⬆️👆⬆️. You have a giveaway🎁🎁🎁. Congratulations

[@quantum2406]

Hi Marius, very nice video and build again. I’ve had one remark for the use of a vfd because it’s a machine with sentimental value. With a vfd on lower speeds the motor fan will cool the motor less, so this could give overheating problems of the motor. Normally the motor runs on high speed with the fan with it. And the pulleys make the speed variation. Probably it won’t be a problem, but keep it in mind. Kind regards!

[@ubidefeo]

Interesting information. I have never used one of these tools, so I was wondering if using a VFD entirely removes the need to adjust pulleys and belts, assuming the cooling is not an issue :)

[@olieboer]

​@@ubidefeo using the pulleys to lower the rpm also increases torque, both if which you need for drilling big diameters. A vfd doesnt do that, but keeping it at some medium speed pulley (with medium torque) will allow for a good range of speeds with enough torque for most drilling operations, using the vfd

[@ubidefeo]

@@olieboer thanks, mate In the end the good old pulley arrangement does what it's been doing for ages :)

[@normanboyes4983]

Excellent.👍 Your grandpa would be very pleased.

[@hunterchartrand6646]

I have a Grizzly drill press that looks almost identical to that one except it is green, and since I live in the US it has a single phase 110v motor since that is the most common available power around here. it also has a built in work light located inside that big hole shown at 2:44 . Better yet, I got it from my grandpa too! The best part of all is since mine is so similar, I can take the same steps you made and apply it to mine, thanks for the video.

[@PacoOtis]

Bravo! Your Grandpa would be very proud of your dedication and accomplishment! Best of luck!

[@thomasmcgravie6932]

Brilliant project, love the refurbishment and adding a modern/retro twist with the analogue rpm gauge.... stunning & very practical!

[@selianboy8508]

Großvater would be very proud of you in all you do... I am not entirely sure what you actually did but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you do it! 😂😂😂😂

[@stu-po]

The analog RPM meter is my favorite. It adds extra class to an already classy drill press!

[@ronwalsh]

Great work bringing back a very useful tool. I love the tachometer on the front. I think I may have to copy that idea. I even have an old tach from an MG.

[@ronthomas3029]

You are amazing! I learn so much from you're ability to make or repair just about anything. Thank you for sharing!

[@louisfkoorts5590]

I was so impressed to see from time to time, how the family supported You. (Dad, is my favorite. But love and greetings to them all 😀) Well, it's heartwarming to see this "Family" drill-press in such capable hands. Thank you, Marius. 👏🏻

[@BobBlarneystone]

Excellent work, and I really like the analog tach. For my drillpress, I'm going to scavenge a DC treadmill motor and install it to eliminate the belt changing issue.

[@MrSkeeter18]

Your grandpa would be happy. Nice job.

[@julianlech8505]

You did a fantastic job restoring and improving that drill press. You could not buy such a well built machine today.

[@StevenCookFX]

OMG this was one of the best drill press restorations I have ever seen. We have an old drill press we found and it needs some attention. I would love to do the same thing you did. :D

[@hansangb]

What a great tribute to your grandfather.

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

I have a similar drill press, mine is not a Krenn but a clone, made in Taiwan and its name is Criko. bought it new in 1990, it still run very good, after all those years..

[@chrisspeer8106]

Excellent video! I inherited many tools from my grandfather as well and appreciate the care you took with this quality tool worthy of restoration!

[@XxIcedecknightxX]

Hey Marius, whenever you deal with interference fits for bearings, you can always throw those bearings into the freezer for a bit and they will be quite a bit easier to put in.

[@logman6614]

out of my 130 subscriptions you are the most entertaining by far keep up the good work. 👍

[@luisestevesirvent2990]

¡Buen trabajo!, ¡la adaptación electrónica es impresionante! Desde España, ¡gracias por mostrarnos tu trabajo!

[@Dennis_is_Outside]

The parts of your drill press look exactly like my late dad's Craftsman 15' drill press. Which I need to restore. So your video helps with removing parts.

[@2madrobot]

very nice restoration of drill press, and cool vise stop motion!

[@Darren_Barclay]

Very nice restoration Marius, I’ve really enjoyed your channel over the years, you’ve definitely been an inspiration to me and my channel. Keep up the good work and keep the content coming, more woodworking content please lol. Take it easy and Rest in peace gramps.

[@paultay23]

Superb, you really are a talented bugger. 👏👏👏

[@30bkg]

I thoroughly enjoy doing this kind of thing myself, especially when it's grandpa's tools. My last restoration project was an old radial arm saw that belonged to my grandpa and my cousin had put it outside in the weather for a couple years so it was in rough shape. It's like new now since I restored it

[@MariusHornberger]

I also got a little tablesaw, jointer combo from my grandpa, which I'm also excited about restoring someday

[@Anatoly_R]

Good job! It always happens when a bright head has artisan hands. Good luck!

[@ifell3]

Great video, your granddad will be proud of this 👍

[@scottboettcher1344]

Great project! Your grandfather would be proud. And I loved the stop-motion video for the vise!

[@Zackmex]

This project is so cool. Congrats from Mexico!

[@mopemaster]

Eine tolle Maschine, super Restauration und eine schöne Erinnerung an Deinen Opa. Klasse! :)

[@SavvasPapasavva]

This has made me very nostalgic for my bench drill - great video, and nice memory from your grandfather. Only thing I'd point out is those motors are designed to spin at a minimum RPM to maintain airflow and prevent over heating. You could make a new shroud with a large DC fan which has a constant speed. I did something similar for my CNC spindle, which looked really stupid but helped keep it cool while milling at lower RPM.

[@Mariushornberger257]

Hello!! Send a direct message ⬆️👆⬆️. You have a giveaway🎁🎁🎁. Congratulations

[@jzrgrmm]

That stop-motion in the end caught me off guard. Very nice.

[@malteser0212]

For the speed sensor you have probably oriented the magnets so that their polarities are all the same, so all north up for example. You might still experience the surrounding parts to heat up a little from magnetic induction, even though it will be much less then if you oriented the magnets alternatingly. I like that you're testing metalwork too now, if you want to get into welding too then I might have some tips. I can't advise you much on machining sadly, I'm just now really getting into it too. I love restoring old machines as well, it is always a satisfying process. Keep up with the good work.

[@MariusHornberger]

The sensor only triggers to one side of the magnets. They have to be oriented the same

[@nealwalden3543]

Really great video. What a good tool that you made so much better. Greetings from California.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I had that loose fit of the bearings. I added a threaded hole and a bolt that puts pressure on it.

[@MarkusHamm-l4l]

GEIL! Du übertriffst dich immer wieder. Schöne Weihnachten wünscht dir Markus

[@mlb6d9]

Holey Moly - probably the best video I have seen on DP restoration/modification. I enjoyed watching your approach & execution on everything! Love the still pic animation towards the end ;-) A very nice drill to start with, and one of a kind now - your grandpa would be overflowing with pride. You just got a new subscriber!

[@a-aron2276]

[@martinoleary3716]

Marius, this video is very enjoyable. I have enjoyed many of your projects. Your attention to communicating the detail is fantastic and your engineering/ manufacturing expertise is impressive. Please keep videos like this restore coming!

[@BTom16]

Kudos for taking this on and brilliant job. The problem with the drill press is it can get into extremely miserable condition and still be a useful tool. Perhaps I will use this as inspiration to restore my own drill press has been noisy and rough for years. Best wishes to you.

[@watahyahknow]

to install bearings without hammering on them , get an electric hotplate and heat the bearings on it , basicly , a bit of spit on youre finger touching the bearing should sizzle on it a little then its hot enough , grab the bearing with a welding glove and the bearing just drops over the axle to fit the same bearings in the quill housing put the quill housing on the hotplate and wait a while then drop axle with bearing in worked at a company that build and repaired electric motors and that was the way we did it

[@MrAndrew990]

Literally about to do this project. Glad I watched

[@x_ph1l]

Nice drill press! I'm planning to do pretty much the same for my drill press, but also add foot pedal that reverses the rotation for threads tapping when you want to have both hands free during tapping.

[@MariusHornberger]

That's a cool idea!
