1942 Delta Drill Press Restoration (Part 3)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Finishing up my 1942 14" Delta Drill Press Restoration. In this video, I replace the spindle bearings, clean up all the little bits, braze some cast iron, and find some surprises along the way.

    I've never seen a center move that much! I wonder if vibration in the machine was making it look a lot worse? Tends to mess with the camera.

    Turns out, the rusty junk doesn’t like to stay in place well in the three jaw chuck, but concentricity wasn’t real important on this one.

    I rebuilt a DP-220 (floor model) several years ago so this brought back memories. I bought the same bearings from Hammersmith. It's been a nice machine but it has a bit more runout than I'd like (not bad for woodworking). You've inspired me to finally take it apart again and figure out if the problem is the chuck or the spindle. I love these old machines for appearance alone, they just look nice.

    Tips They make special epoxies for fixing up minor oopsies in bearing seating surfaces. For a more permanent and professional fix there is a brazing material used to resurface automotive exhaust and or intake valves. This stuff can be applied with oxyacetylene gear and ground to a suitable finish for Morse tapers and such. Just don’t ask me the name of the stuff I forgot it five seconds after I heard it.

    It happens everywhere, but not often... I remember seeing a `yuge blacksmith`s hammer once, left on the street in front of a house, i was a kid back then, but the people were carrying it out and left it there until gypsies took it a few months later... It had to have had at least 3 tonnes... I`ve seen stuff tossed out everywhere, you just have to be at the right place in the right time to find a thing being carried out to be left for scrap... Not saying that its a commonplace occurrence, but old shops close down, old people pass away and morons inherit marvelous machines that are worth more than their pathetic lives and all the generations they will spawn could ever amount to... But they toss it out as junk to be smashed and melted into brake rotors, as they are scum sucking slime that knows not what true marvels of mankind are and what tools practically built the world they live in today... Its a sad thing, but it is what it is since the time of Cain and Abel... Nihil novi sub sole...

    Nicely done - having the mill style table on a drill press can be very handy for when you want hole patterns that are in straight lines and if the dials are still good, makes spacing them easy as well! Does eat into the Z height substantially though.

A reasonable amount of galling I understand is okay🙂 If it was mine, it would be just perfect…it’ll still work fine. And for me, you overcame some serious challenges there. Good job👍🙂 And thanks for the ideas for making homemade tools to fix stuff😉 I appreciate that😁

    Nice video! IMHO, the main reason drill presses are very poor milling machines is a lack of stiffness in the horizontal plane. Even if you were to upgrade the spindle bearings, it would chatter horribly and dellect a lot.

    OMG, you made a mistake. I think you have given away your time warping secret. Everything set in the 40's until the shot of that carbide tooling. SO, I have a technical question. Which way did you warp,, seriously. Did you take the carbide back, or send the parts forward. I suggest you recut this video so that no further secrets are divulged in your work. And for GOD's sake if your see plain white vans parked across the street. GO back and never come back to the future. JUST SAYIN"
