I made this to accomplish a specific lightweight milling project, I needed to mill a small area of an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump, which I show in another video. Using the dial indicator made the milling an easy task and I was able to mill the aluminum very accurately. The milling was done with a large cross slide vise and a heavy milling plate which acts a a safety device keeping the chuck from dropping down no more than an inch, the chuck would need to drop more than three inches to be thrown free of the drill press.

Hi, I measured mine and it is 3 1/2". Thanks for watching the video, Kevin

My magneto was chopped off and just the lower part was left where the cam and points are housed, it was converted to run on a battery and I went with that. My magneto base mounts to a horizontal plate that is part of the cast iron side face plate. The magneto gear that is driven by the larger cam gear has to be removed also to be able to remove the magneto completely from the side plate as well. My magneto was also the main reason for the engine not turning . Once I removed the magneto I had some movement in the piston. It took quite a bit of effort to free up the magneto bearing itself. Lot of lubrication and gently working the shaft back and forth. Hope this helps in some way. Kevin

​@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop Thank you ,the rust poors out the little hole in the front of my magneto ,I have the little transmission freed up,qnd the governor ,the piston and valve have been soaking scene the day I committed here ,I had just bought and drove back the 150 miles to pick it up,I'm going to brave up and remove the front plate tonight ,I believe the magneto is the reason it's frozen,I'll probably find out the hard way nothing ever goes easy for me,plan on using this motor for a 1904 de dion Bouton buggy build ,I know this was a reel mower engine, but it so close to those early car motors I love to see it run again if possible, hope you have a wonderful day ,and Thanks so much.

So great you got the radiator! Mine was frozen also, I disconnected the connecting rod from crankshaft and removed the cylinder from the crankcase. I worked on the cylinder below the piston and got it cleaned up with a small hone. was able to draw out the piston from the cylinder. Good luck and thanks for watching! Kevin

Merci d'avoir regardé ! La vidéo montre uniquement un concept. Chaque perceuse à colonne est différente et les plans et les mesures ne s'appliqueraient pas à tous les modèles de perceuse à colonne fabriqués. Kévin

Thanks for watching and commenting! This setup ended up working surprisingly well. I wanted to mill an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump and it turned out to work well and allowed me to precisely mill my project. I know it has limited ability but it did what I needed. Thanks, Kevin

Thanks, red is a good idea, Kevin

@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop Yeah, building the tools is often more satisfying than using them.

I appreciate the feedback, works great when you occasionally need that ability. Thanks for watching, Kevin

What brand and where to find it, if you don’t mind🙂

Lonnie, appreciate the comment, thanks for watching, Kevin

John, thanks for taking the time to comment, like your tandem switch idea, Kevin

Hi, appreciate your feedback, glad the video helped, thanks for watching, Kevin

No probs - nicely explained and demonstrated, unlike some on here! Best wishes. @@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop

Hi, I don't have any drawings of my drill press and don't see a way to send you a picture of my drill press through this email portion of TH-cam. My drill press seems tight and I do not have any play in the spindel. The lower portion supported by a large ball bearing, upper portion I can not see, but most likely is a sleeve bearing of some kind. Not much help to you, Kevin

Dustin, I appreciate your feedback, thanks for watching my video, Kevin.
