Let's Restore a 75 Year Olde Delta Drill Press. Perhaps the greatest drill press ever?

Double Taper Sanding Disc: www.mikefarrington.com/dt-disc
In this video I restore a 75 year old Delta drill press. It's very rewarding to complete a project like this. There are always challenges along the way, but its fun to overcome them, and I always have a great sense of satisfaction when I'm done. Also, its great to have a high quality tool to use as well. I am slowly working on a few other tool restorations at the moment. If you enjoyed this video, well there will be more to come.

    As a oldER guy i so very much appreciate when the older things are restored. To many of these beautiful old pieces of equipment ended up in landfills to never be seen again. You hit the nail on the head when you said "too labor intensive for today" that is why we will never see the great art work that went into the casting of equipment. Thats a huge reasone to restore equipment from a generation that will all to soon be gone into the history books that collect dust. THANKS FOR BREATHING LIFE BACK INTO HER! GREAT JOB!

    I agree, but this was a high-end, industrial unit when sold (...I'm guessing '60s, '70s?). A comparable modern unit -and I hate to use the word "comparable" as this thing is built like a tank- would run about $4K. I have a similar, unrestored machine in my shop and it's still making money after sixty years in service. Great work!

    man your narrations are pleasure to listen to. The drill press is an industrial press and includes all the perks that we wish we had in our domestic bench or floor models. Many of the older ones from this same time period had accessories that added these useful features and made ones domestic models better. Great restore and a pleasure to watch. Old machines are beautifully and masterfully built. We as Americans must have this passion for quality and nice looking tools and machinery re-ignited.

    Excellent rebuild. I love this drill! I rebuilt a 1952 Rockwell/Delta table saw that had been used /abused in a manufacturing plant for over forty years. It was a mess. Nonetheless, the castings and machining on that saw were excellent, just as you found with your drill. And heavy. OMG. I was able to salvage everything except the original electric motor, which by that time was just a housing full of loose parts and pieces. After adding a new motor and switch, I have used it routinely for a decade. I enjoy it every time I use it. The drill you now have is a masterpiece that will last generations. I will wager that anyone who appreciates tools will walk by, stop to look at it, and then reach out to touch it. I know I would. Great work. Thanks!

    I would guess that those "protrusions" on the spindle bearings suggests that they are angular contact bearings. Regular bearings are designed mostly to take load perpendicular to shaft, but in a drill press, bearings need to take substantial load in line with shaft, too. McMaster sells AC bearings, but still no guarantee you can find exact replacement.

    I did way too much research on that very subject. It seemed that the consensus was they were good old fashioned ball bearings. I ended up buying the bearings from a company that specializes in restoring old delta tools. According to them, these bearings were the closest to the originals that I could get.

    @@MikeFarrington Covers have always interested me in different ways. It's very easy to say that the original is always better because, for most people, it's the first version they've heard and it's difficult to 'unhear' it. More often than not, I tend to say the original is best too, but I can't help but think that there's some sort of bias that I can't control. I actually didn't know of Talk Talk before hearing the No Doubt version of 'It's My Life', probably because of my age and location. It's pretty amazing that No Doubt didn't change much of the original. Even some of the background 'sfx' are very similar, like the bird-like noises during the verses. My favourite part of the cover is the slide guitar in the second verse - sounds cooler than the original synth. The bass lines in the chorus' are identical. I think I like both versions equally, even though I've never been a huge fan of the whole New Wave/Reggae/Ska/Punk thing. There are a handful of covers that I think are superior to the original, but I think it depends on genre too. Some genres, like singer-songwriter, rely heavily on the connection between the performance and the lyrical content that can only be conveyed by the person who wrote it. This authenticity is usually lost by a different performer who might think they know what the lyrics mean, but cannot capture the original intent of the writer. But for pop genres, this authenticity is usually not the primary focus.

    Why rebuild this rather than buy a new one? As you stated during disassembly, no one (that i know of) puts in the care that was used in the castings and overall quality of this machine that was practiced in those days. I once restored an old, old Delta radial arm saw. Then a few years later restored a Craftsman radial arm saw. There was about 40 years different in manufacturing date. True, by the time I finished the second rebuild radial arm saw were surplus in most shops, however, the notable difference in the quality of castings and quality of workmanship between a Delta built in the 40s and a Craftsman built in the 70s was absolutely remarkable. I have rebuilt many old table saws, as well. While a new table saw has often a better fence system, splitters and other enhanced features, it is d___ difficult to come close to the quality of build in old machines. I would always rather have rebuilt old tool with "jury-rigged" workable modern features than a brand new Saw stop brand table saw.. Just my opinion. Thanks for your work on rescuing great old tools.
