When my wife and I bought our property in 2014, there was an old farmhouse on it. The house, itself, was not salvageable but it did contain a great deal of odds and ends left behind by the previous owners. One of which was this old drill press. When we first saw the place, it was sitting on...

Has set in. I picked up this drill press the other day for $100 Thing is, I already have 3 drill presses... Please help.

All, I'm seeking some help with a question regarding my pre-WW2 Canedy-Otto Royal 18. I do realize it's been a long time since some of those who mentioned owning a Canedy/Cincinnati drill press have posted, so hopefully this still reaches a few. Also, note that I'm not sure if any of the other...

This drill press was found by my friend at scrap metal. It was in ugly state w/o table and motor. After some time he found a table from another drill press (with 3 T-slots in good state). So the puzzle now consists from two drill presses from the USSR period. The top is from NS-12, and bottom...

While investigating excessive runout on my new-to-me but old-to-the world drill press, I noticed some runs of epoxy around the top of the chuck's taper adapter.... Removing the chuck was not fun but I eventually got it to release. Some previous operator had slathered the taper in epoxy then...

I've had an eBay auto-search for BUX magnetic drill bases for a long time, 2-3 years. I've always liked how the casting is shaped, and it seemed like the kind of tool that I might have on hand with no particular project in mind... but it would be invaluable the day that I need it and can reach...

A coal-fired power plant shut down nearby, and I picked up a few items from there in their auctions last summer. This included a few large new old-stock pressure tanks for water systems ($25 for two tanks that are $800/ea new), a flammables storage cabinet, and a 1998 Ford Ranger. Amongst this...

I started the restoration before I joined, so I don't have any before pictures. But you can all imagine the rust, dirt dauber mud packed inside of everything, old paint, stripped bolts, missing parts, rusty shafts, and nothing moved. I couldn't buy parts online from a long gone Boice Crane...

Hello all, new to the forum and general machining. I need some help identifying my late grandfathers lathe. It doesn’t have a lot of the manufacture’s stamp on it anymore. All I can gather is a watch company’s name (image below). That’s the only identifying mark I can find. The lathe still runs...

Interesting project possibilities... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/260837408636060/

I have an old companion drill press that has a keyless chuck that has seen better days. It looks like a 1/2" fine thread (maybe 20tpi?). Does anyone know if this can be replaced? Is the threaded portion part of the spindle, or just pressed in? Pics are attached. -Tom

I inherited my grand dads drill press. I was a rust bucket that was in my dads shed for 30 or 40 years. It was covered in dirt and rat crap.... I took her apart and sandblasted what I could and then painted it. Bearings were good so I didn't replace any the motor worked fine. I did change...

This PDF outlines the steps I took to remove the mechanical (NOISY!) Reeves-drive from the WEN 4214 Drill Press. What turned out great was that i could use the existing RPM indicator! If you would like the Arduino code for this - send a message and I'll email you a copy. =Alan R.

Ok, here goes. My first post. Like most 1st postings, I screwed up & need help! Background: I have a 1941 Craftsman 101.03622 drill press. It is powered by a Dunlap 1/3 HP Thermotron Model #115.5454 Split-Phase Electric Motor. My dad bought the press in the 1940’s. I used it throughout my youth...

Hello again, Firstly I'd like to say thanks for all of your previous help. This forum has been a game changer for me, much appreciated. I recently upgraded to a 3/4hp floor drill press from a very small counter press. I mainly drill mild steel, and have run into an issue when drilling through...

Hello all, I just bought a keyless chuck for my drill press, and am having drill slippage issues. It's a cheaper chuck, but I'm wondering if it really is just a crappy chuck, or if I'm using the wrong style shaft on my drills. I'm using straight round shanks, as most of my drilling is smaller...

Can someone please hlp me identify this Walker drill press model...there are no model numbr badges. Picked it up fro $40.00 want to do a full resto on it .

I have a wonderful South Bend 14" Drill Press that i got from fellow member @TAWP Tool :grin: i tried to utilize the drill press with just the OEM pulleys from the 56 frame 1725 rpm, 1/2 Hp motor @115v, for a couple years- but the spindle was turning waaay too fast for my taste or use...

I scored this fine old drill press at auction for a mere buck.. (I felt kinda bad, it deserved more respect than that. ha) But I likes my old iron so had to have it.. The tag says Tomlee Tools, and vintagemachinery.org dates it to about 1950. It got caught in the rain so needs a good cleaning...
