Well here it is as ALOT of you have requested the long awaited restoration of my worn out pillar drill or drill press if you prefer. You might want to grab a drink and a snack as this one is a big one filled with all manner of techniques, tips and tricks.
As you all know i usually spend a lot of time writing a big description of what I've done in the video but as this episode is so long i simply would have enough space here so what ill do is give a brief description and let the video do the talking for itself.
So basically, my drill has seen better days, the bearings are worn, it looks tatty and the return spring setup is missing so that was my first job, first fabricating the housing to hold the spring and then cutting the slots and fitting a retaining tab to stop the spring from freely spinning inside and once that was made i started stripping the drill down to component form.
Once in component from all the paint was removed using paint stripper, i could have used the sand blaster but with the amount of parts and how hard the paint was it would have been far to time consuming and would wear my blast media out fairly quickly so i opted for the paint stripper and wire brush method and as you can see it worked a treat.
I then masked up al the parts and gave them a coat of etch and then high build primer to proved me a good thickness to flat back to hide the rough casting texture of the parts, once that was done i painted the parts with a bright red 2k paint to match my Snap-On boxes .
While the paint was curing i set my sights on the rusty hardware, I washed all the oil and grease off first and then sand blasted them back to bare steel in preparation for bluing, I used the hot method for this in which i heat the parts to 300- 400 degrees and then dunk them oil this burns the oil onto the surface and leave a lovely black oxide finish that is highly durable.
Then it was simply a case of installing all the new bearings to sort out the sloppy quill and re-assemble all the parts and of course finish of the build with a nice custom data plate sporting the RRC logo :).
so anyway Enjoy and please leave a like and comment if you enjoyed this video :)
See you all again soon

Worn Out Pillar Drill Restoration - JUMBO Episode - บันเทิง
Seriously, i am more excited to watch an RRC video, than a multi-million dollar hollywood movie !
Thats some high praise indeed :)
I do agree! Absolutely!
Agree!
I second that motion
Same here, I very rarely watch TV and movies anymore.
Class work man.
Next, that bench grinder
Thank you very much :)
NO NO NOOOOOOO
The bench grinder stays as is....
It would be sacrilegious to put bells & whistles on earth SKETCHY 😡😤🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🥸
''So, my only choice is to MAKE A NEW ONE'' *a terrifying roar echoes in the distance* ....He has awoken....My Mechanics cometh!
Haha love that comment! I hope you enjoyed the video :)
@@RRCRestoration Always do^^
You sir are a pillar of the You tube community! A perfect drill ready to get pressed into action.
Love that comment thanks for leaving it and watching my video :)
I watched the hole video, and it wasn't boring in the least! :-)
I love it when a tool is used to repair itself.
Same, its strangely satisfying
Seeing other channels disassemble stuff = boring as heck.
Seeing RRC disassemble stuff = fascinating.
It's in the video editing.
Love the red rather than a dull grey or the old green. Also appreciate the patience and thoroughness. Cheers
Cant imagine how many items you have taken apart previously to strip down machines like this so easily let alone put them back together. Thank you for another great video. Cant wait for the Sketchy Grinder rebuild, that will be epic as I bet there’s more than a few parts you’ll have to make.
Every time. Every single time. So engaging, no distracting music or dialogue . Absolutely masterful. Keep the good work, man.
Agree 100%
That drill press look like the little brother to mine which is 3 phase and has one step more in the belt "transmission".
Great job and I must say that these kind of clips are educational, inspiring and motivation. Just pure sounds and no silly track..
I wouldn't dare use that now, I'd have it in my living room to show off 🤭, another great video
Thank you, Glad you like the results :)
IKR...it belongs in a show room
Behold ! Another living room morphing into a man cave ! lol
@@beakittelscherz5419 🤣🤣🤣
I was looking forward to seeing a fresh coat of that industrial green color, but the red came out looking superb! Yet another great looking piece 👍👍
Man, you are a legend, perfection is your business.
Wow, thanks! i appreciate that :)
That was some of the most satisfying paint stripping content I've ever seen
... i would have kept the green paint as it has acquired years iof patina. Excellent job by Mr RRC on the restoration though!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@RRCRestoration just a general question - can hammerite be used in a spray gun?
Honda red is such a lovely colour for a drill press. Just needs a matching bench grinder now.
That was an incredible journey from the beginning to the end of that restoration!!! You did an outstanding job on every part! It looks great and that quality of work will last for a very long time. The red paint job looks beautiful.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it :)
Got the exact same drill press, and it makes me mad with its drifting when drilling and noises and quirks of wear, and now i feel confident i can fix it🙌🏻 Thanks a LOT, really great restoration and vid🙏🏻🥳🏆
I would willingly pay an admission fee to sit out of the way, and watch you work. Well done!
Excellent restoration, can't wait for more. Thanks for sharing
I just love watching your videos. You go right down to the smallest detail. Thank you for them and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much glad you enjoy my videos :)
That is truly a nice job.
I've restored a few machines and tools down through the years and like your self I like to do a job right.
and I have to say on my best day I could do no better.
keep up the good work.
Kind greetings from Ireland.
How the heck did I miss this three months ago? Gives me the confidence to have a go at changing the bearings on my own drill press now. Cheers dude.
Great job I've never seen a restoration like this before
Thank you, dear, for this video
I really enjoyed this restoration. Thank you and great work, per usual.
This was among the BEST tool restoration videos I've seen! I have a VERY SIMILAR, maybe slightly larger drill press to clean up and get in shape. I can now say I'm familiar with ALL components of the drill press to which I give you MANY THANKS!!! I was a little apprehensive about replacing bearings should I need to but now that I know how these are put together I have a clear picture. I also picked up on many other details you used on your restoration. You REALLY went to town on this!!! It is MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment it means alot :)
Absolutely Brilliant! Well done, M8!
It's amazing what you can do with the right tools and lots of SKILL! Very enjoyable as usual, thank you.
Thank you very much! :)
Nicely done, I am getting ready to restore a 1980's vintage 6 x 48 belt sander with a 10 inch disk sander, old cast iron, really excited to get into it. Your video has inspired me to get it done lol. Thanks for a great video.
Brilliant as usual, the poor old grinder has been overlooked again
Amazing to watch and even for people like me that has no experience with mechanical stuff the quality of your work and attention to details is recognizable and in my opinion at the top of the game congratulations for posting such interesting videos, thank you
This was a great watch! I love to see old things restores. It must be the pastor in me.
Fantastic sir! That was deeply satisfying and relaxing.
Thank you excellent video, I now feel confident enough after watching this to repair my late Father’s pillar drill, the twin sister to yours, that melted on me a couple of years ago whilst using it to shape wood! i say melted, lot of smoke and dripping from the motor area, rather interesting experience! Thanks again!
Beautiful restoration and color, almost a Ducati red😊
Red is always the best color! this turned out amazing as always!
Just bought the exact drill at a car-boot sale yesterday. Very pleased to find this vid. Thanks for posting.
Amazing job as always !!! Already looking forward to the next video !!!
really well done, now I have something to do this weekend. THANK YOU!!
I have the exact same drill press and in need of a full restoration. I've been putting it off for years and, thanks to you, I am now motivated to tackle it! Thanks!
pillar drill
Absolutely cracking job! As new, looks lovely, works great. Couldn't be happier. I was looking forward to seeing this being done. Cheers!
Thank you very much! really glad you enjoyed it :)
Superb!!! Great restoration. That's the way to do it!

Excellent video, it allowed me to see what this type of tool is like, to make one from scratch. Your contribution is appreciated, Thank you k.
Excellent restoration. Always wondered how the column of these went together.
And glad to see good old SBG is still alive!
Keep the coming.
Dave
Hi Dave, Thank you very much glad you enjoyed the restoration :)
Thank you for sharing this with all of us wow!
Amazing work, keep it up. I’d love to see that bench grinder get done but I also like the cable tie look!
Brilliant. You did good. Enjoy for many more years
I think this is the best restoration channel because:
1 - the quality of the work done is extremely high.
2 - the filming and editing skills are top notch.
3 - just the right amount of cheek and humor.
4 - great insight and knowledge on many different mechanical areas.
And last but not least, hands down the best accent of any resto channel out there, no contest! lol
Thank you for another hugely enjoyable upload. Another beautiful job we all have become so familiar with from you.
It is always so nice to see a new video and see how far you've come (also still glad you're talking in the videos!) I love how you painted it so red that the camera was like "nope" in the close ups. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your comment im really glad you are still enjoying my videos :) Aww i know its so annoying when the colour is so vivid the camera just refuses to pick it up haha
So glad you went for a different colour. The difference is function and looks is awesome.
Thank you very much :)

ta
You did an amazing job
Brilliant, a job for the weekend, thanks!

Top job on the Piller drill.. like the Blackning of the parts in oil. Will have to try that one.. thanks..
Excellent job!
Wow, not only did it turn out to look absolutely beautiful but wow, perfect running! Enjoyment!!!! 👍💪
Thank you, Glad you liked it! :)
Your skillset is unmatched brother
What an absolute beauty - another cracking job!
Thank you :)
Amazing transformation. Love the change of colour. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Loved your video and what a wonderful really well organized shop !!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Thanks so much! 😊
What a fantastic episode! Nearly 42 minutes of epic restoration! I'm sure this is the same as my dad left me - once I get my shed finished, I'll bring it up and have a look! I might have to find out where you got the belt from!
Absolutely excellent work, my friend! 🍻🤘💜
Brilliant, as usual. Great to see the drill get some loving, mind you, the red paint job was a surprise. I was sure you'd be going for original "grotty" green. Sounded great at the end.
When I fixed outboard motors, the recoil starter springs were a nightmare. No dafety wires for me, I had to hand wind the buggers myself. One or two did ping across the workshop! Happy days.
Take care.
Cheers,
Norm.
Hey Norm always nice to see you . Glad you enjoyed the restoration, i did think about going for hammered green again but thought red would be cooler and it would match the Snap-On boxes.
Looks splendid in Honda red, with better fit and finish than when it was brand new, Lovely job.
Pleasure to see you, Glad you enjoyed the restoration :)
Very interesting, great job, looks and sounds like new!
What a brilliant restomod. As I was watching I thought to myself "This would look even better if it was red". You definitely made the right choice. Thank you for showing people that with some hard work even old equipment can be made new. Its far better then throwing history into the trash and buying shotty cheap equipment from (I won't say the name, but it starts with C and ends with hina). Thank you for another great video. Much respect 🙏 🫡.
Just came across this video by chance and really enjoyed it. I have a similar drill and I cleaned it up, however I may now strip it right down. I know exactly what you mean with that quill spring. Nearly had my eye out !!! Looking forward to discovering the next video.
the drill came out lovely
Another top notch resto many thanks
I have a strange fascination with bmc green for workshop tools and engines but it looked great in red. Brilliant video as always!
That was a well done and good job.
Great video as always!
Very nicely done. Excellent video. Also, nice paint job.....
Another great restoration done, I like that you don’t scrimp or cut corners on your projects. 👍🏼⚙️🛠
Thank you! Cheers! :)
I have the same machine, thanks for the insight into it's innards, now I know what to expect when I do the same.
Nice work mate.
