You should start a business restoring old tools and re-selling them. You do such a good job on these restorations!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you. No one will pay for what’s involved to do it right when a new one can be had so cheap. No one wants to spend 3k on a drill press lol.

[@cottydry]

I've rebuilt 5 of these DP600's. I only strip paint if they're been previously re-painted. (it's an absolutely miserable job). If it's original factory paint it's as tough as nails and it's a great base for a new topcoat once you properly prepare the old surface. I love you column polishing jig and your table repair!!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you!

[@patlamb41]

Very nice. Save the machines !!!!!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Agreed

[@ronmorse5624]

You do very nice work. I have rebuilt a couple of drill presses, but all I did was to install new bearings and adjust everything as best as I could. I got my machines from my uncle that was a manager for a company that made screws and bolts for Pratt & Whitney. I bought new drill presses that I'm not sure were as good as what I already had. I wish I had painted them and gone over them as you did.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah the old machines are better. They just don’t make them like that anymore

[@joeswheat]

Nice work!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you

[@robertpearson8798]

Nice blend of old and new, well worth the effort. Not crazy about the colour but to each their own. I love the look of machines from that era.

Hey! brother man, we are built from the same cloth. If your in there to change bearings, might as well powder coat it. Cover/plug all tolerance areas. I have a 70’s Delta (bowling baller) DP, it’s all yellow with black highlights. Keep up the beautiful work.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yes indeed. Thank you sir. Thanks for feedback

[@yourebadatmakingstuff3475]

Thanks for the video. I'm just starting a restoration with a very similar 17-600 and found the taper is completely destroyed. It seems that the original tapers were barely hardened and get gulled very easily.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah I had similar issues. It’s a good drill press

Turned out great, new to your channel have a shop of my own like you and love the work! Few thoughts with those cast parts, I would be careful with a scaler and maybe think about brazing next time, welding cast is so hit and miss. But again great job!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Ok great tips. I’ll keep those in mind. I do have a tig welder now so cast repair might go better might not. I have done a few repairs since then with mixed results. Depends on the casting I guess.

[@kevinnathanson6876]

Nice work overall! May I humbly suggest that your next restoration be a hydraulic/pneumatic frame press? (It's killing me to watch those bearings get hammered on!) Also, your paint work is fantastic, on both this and your lathe, but MAN would you save a lot of time and effort if you would just use some hand cleaner, brother! 😂

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks man. I need a press bad for sure. I know more know than I did but still need one. Which hand cleaner would you suggest. Are you talking about paint stripper?

[@kevinnathanson6876]

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair NOT paint stripper!!! God Lord, you don't ever want to put that on skin! Heavy rubber gloves when using that. I just noticed all the greasy fingerprints on that fresh paint that you then have to clean off... Just keep a bottle of GoJo or Goop or the orange-smelling stuff that I can't remember the name of right now... Ten seconds with that and a paper towel and most of that grease will be gone. Too much work to clean later!
