Inside a Drill Press

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Restoring and upgrading the drill press from my grandpa was a fun project exactly to my liking. The variable speed is incredibly useful, and I can finally run all tools at the right rpm.
The VFD is a Sourcetronic ST 500 400v 1,5kW for the 1kW motor. It's not sponsored, and I paid about 260€ for it. You can get much cheaper ones, but I had a bad experience with one of them and decided that investing a bit more into a quality one made in Germany is a good idea. I have no regrets.
Same with bearings and belt, which I got for 60€ total. I used cheap bearings for different projects, and they broke way too early. This nice drill press deserves nice hardware, so I went with SKF bearings.

    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”.

    I had one very similar, Hare and Forbes, maybe only 10 years old. I felt exactly the same as you about the changing of belts and it was a blessing in disguise when the tensioning lever sheared off. Pulled it apart to salvage whatever useful bits there were (so many parts look identical to yours) and bought a direct variable speed drive Nova Voyager to replace it. Excellent tool, worlds apart from what I had. Looks like a great conversation you've done, nice job!
