@L  P Projects I'm in the middle of restoring an Ixion. Inside the adjuster knob there's a brass "brakepad" that slows down the flywheel, causing the drill to advance. I'll happily send you some pics and dimensions.

Old but gold, my friend. Old but gold.

The efficiency of that drill press in going through metal amazes me.

Guy is a wood worker, a real hand tools freak, moves to a new house and finds a hand drill press in the basement. Are we going to call this luck? Freaking awesome.

I got the same. 100 years old. Beautiful. ❤

Nice Stavros It is a lovely machine, quiet, fast, accurate. Sometimes the simplest way is the best. No need for fancy electric drills It is wonderful to see you put it to use

2:04..."I know you want it you little perverts"...that made me laugh out loud...but it was too true!!!

VERY nice tool! I use a brace drill with auger bits for common, but I always wanted a table drill like this. And again - it works without any electricity. Can be used anywhere! That is one of why I love old tools. They need only care to work for decades. The best fathers' gift to son, I think. And when generation change, kids of his kids still use it, recalling dad and grandad worked it before, thankful and joy. Great pleasure, Mr. Stavros Gakos.

A keep fit drill press.............silence is golden!

A now i know how to ajust the pressure. I have the same drill, but wasn,'t turning as soon as i hit the material. I didn't know about the pressure ajustment. I go and try. Thanks!!

If you unscrew and remove the chuck, you will find that the inside of the spindle is bored for a number 1 Morse taper. The slots in the spindle above the chuck are for the ejector drift to remove the drill bit.

What a great drill press ! And i like the way you chose to use it just the way is rather than restore it and make it into a shiny looking museum piece for someone to admire. I love it just the way it is ! Thank You for sharing your drill press with us.

Thanks for explaining the excellent tool so clearly. This tool is well suited to an age where electricity has become very expensive.

Hey Stavros, i own the original ixion. on this the very top of the drill spindle has a hole to fix a spring and washer with a bent pin. this provides an end stop and stops the spindle from free falling. To axes this you have to tap off the flywheel and unscrew that knurled top cap

In addition to the Yankee already mentioned I believe Millers Falls also made a number of similar drills. Given the era they're from I bet there are a great many other brands you could look for, especially in the US which is large enough to have loads and loads of competing firms back in the heyday of this sort of tool.

Beautiful tool! As a bonus , you won't burn many drill bits if you have to drill tough metal like stainless steel...

Thank you Stavros. What accent? I have lived all over the United States and have heard a thousand variations on the language from people who supposedly only know English. Again thank you for showing us the drill presses. I use a Yankee drill press that is now about 105 years old. Similar in function with two speeds but with a slide switch between a pair of bevel gears. The top or bottom gear determines the crank speed. No flywheel and no slip clutch. It has an eccentric sprag clutch for the self feeding gear. It is slow but decently accurate. It also is set up with a clamp on base to clamp to a cross brace in a wall or the edge of the bench. This makes it a little difficult to use at time as my bench too is to thick to accept it. I hope all is well with you and have missed your videos. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.

Też się zastanawiałem co to za wiertarka a tu pyk film. Tym filmem opowiedziałeś na moje wszystkie pytania jakie bym mógł zadać, np. skoro ma regulację nacisku czy można jej używać do gwintowania i jest zaraz odpowiedź ;-)

Super maszyna, jedyne czego mi w niej brakuje to ogranicznik głębokości. Ale zastanawia mnie co innego. Też mam 2 sztuki, z czego używam tylko jednej, druga ma straszne bicie. Jak by nie patrzećb, obie podczas kręcenia korbą bez obciążenia wysuwają się - inaczej niż u Ciebie. Nie mam też tego efektu wypadania pod koniec zasięgu. Zastanawiam się jak to powinno działać faktycznie. W sumie nie serwisowałem jeszcze swojej, ma w środku taką ilość smaru, że nie mogę się zmotywować 🙂 Nie mniej jest to fascynujące i bardzo zmyślne urządzenie. Chociaż i tak najbardziej lubię zwykłą korbę 🙂

Very nice! I have been looking for one those without success the past two years. There is an Indian made version but best to continue making holes with a hand drill. My first plane, a jointer, is not a thing of beauty but it worked well to true my bench top. Now for a bull nose plane.

@tungsten_carbide

3 жыл бұрын

If I might comment on this James, why for the love of all that's holy would you want a bullnose as a second plane??? A no. 3 or 4, a shoulder plane or a jack would each be far more useful in their respective ways. Bullnose planes are considered very much an also-ran by many, and you'll find that a lot of experienced users (on the UK Workshop forums for example) who own either the Stanley or the Record copy and they say they literally never use them.

I wonder if something like this but pedal powered could be a more efficient way of doing this...

Mam taką samą wiertarkę i u mnie nie ma problemu ze spadającym wrzecionem. Po prostu najprawdopodobniej brakuje u Ciebie sprężyny i jakiejś zawleczki przy górnym kole zamachowym. Ostatnio robiłem renowację takiej maszyny, ale z jakiegoś powodu przy maksymalnym wysunięciu mam bicie na wrzecionie i nie wiem, dlaczego tak jest. W razie pytań, jak miałoby wyglądać zabezpieczenie przed spadaniem wrzeciona, daj znać.
