Having seen all but your jewelers vice restorations now I am thoroughly impressed! Just a quick tip: When sanding on any metal surface, try alternating your physical motion from "vertical to horizontal " as you go higher in grit measure. 1000 vertical then 1500 horizontal then 2000 back to vertical. Each successive grit then removes the minute scratches left by the last. Makes polishing to satisfaction far easier! Great video!
BRILLIANT ! I have 3 of these exact drills, all from Car Boot sales, for a few pounds. They all work well and are so handy to have around with multiple attachments when doing work, needing more than one attachment. I think I'm going to give one the same treatment as you did - it looks FABULOUS ! Thanks for the 'tutorial', and I'm now a sub too. Thanks and take care 🙂
@@sparesorrepair9118 I've allsorts... I've some really big stuff but it's getting the time and space to work on any of it... I did a couple of videos but it's been a while since now.... I mainly collect vintage & antique machine tools.. The old flat belt driven stuff... 🇬🇧👍
Brilliant piece of restoration, and they are Powerful little drills...I remember using my fathers wolf cub in the early 1960s and it always did the job asked of it.
Wow beautiful result. My granddad had one it was gold coloured in the 70s ! Still remember it like it was yesterday! But forgotten what I did yesterday!!! Lol worth waiting for! You got a sneaky little vice done I see well done on that too!!
Anthony Kent Cheers! I really enjoyed this one, my arms were shafted after all the sanding but it was well worth the result. I think most of the early ones were a beige/gold, I was tempted to try and colour match this one but I prefer the look of it now! Yeah, I was waiting for the parts to arrive for this one so I thought I’d chuck a little resto up inbetween, that’ll probably get more views too 😂
shockz16 looks lush now, scared to use it in case I scratch it though 😂! I don’t have space to do a car atm, probably gonna be moving in the near future though and my priority is a huge workshop so I can do cars too 😉
This is very, very impressive. I have an identical one of these Wolf Cub drills that was my father's, grandfather's and belonged to his friend (professional plumber) before that. It was restored in the 1980s, but I now think I'll try and perform a fraction of your magic. I've been looking for a video on the Wolf cub restoration for some time - this is just perfect! Thanks.
Great video my friend & lovely to see someone appreciating the little Cub drill at last. I've restored dozens of 'em & many other vintage wolf tools too, I just love 'em, simply because other than an odd bearing here or there, & a new lead, they just don't break or wear out, even now most modern stuff is way way inferior to the old Wolf products. The little rare Wolf (Cub) 'Challenge' still evades me though.
Sometimes the armature too though as seen in the video, nowadays of course drills have temperature thermistors to prevent the motor from burning out, I guess things back then things were much more rigid however in terms of efficiency, todays drills beat them for practical use as the motors are far superior
Very interesting motor with the brushes contacting the top of the commutator and the stator having one coil, cool to see how they did stuff in the 1950s, excellent restoration
At last... a restorer who realises that cast aluminium bodied hand tools look FABULOUS when polished up to a mirror finish!!! It looks like Star Wars ray gun, but more useful! Brilliant work matey! Greetings from Southport
Flipping Heck! Absolutely gorgeous, though I’ve not read the comments yet to see what you did totally wrong! In the mean time it looks amazing and you’ve preserved an important part of history. The work you put into that finish was really worth it, and I bet it looks better than when it first came out of its box. If you are dating it almost immediately after WWII it must be fairly rare. Not many had the money or access to electric tools and craftsmen were still using their brace and bits, eggbeater and breast drills. There are times only a corded drill will do. I’m building my first woodworking workbench in November and even though I have six different types of drill at the moment, I'm going to buy a corded drill for my dog holes. I’m only buying a cheap one as that will be the only time I'll probably use it, I don’t make a habit of drilling 19 holes into 90mm wood. My cordless drill can probably do it but a corded will do it more efficiently. My grandmother lived in Ledbury in Herefordshire, she had round pins on her plugs well into the 70s and possibly 80s. It was like going abroad for my sister, she always needed to change the plug on her hair dryer. I have a Wolf electric planet, it is good but I thought Wolf was a modern Chinese company. I certainly didn’t realise they were making drills 70+80 years ago! Another phenomenal restoration, I'll wager anything you have at least 3k subscribers by Christmas.
In the early days wolf tools were awesome, really well made, and often with unique inhouse designs. This motor for example is unlike any other I've ever come across, and the switch mechanism is so over engineered it's unreal! I believe they were bought out by Kango at some point, pretty sure I had a wolf/kango branded drill or grinder many years ago. They aren't particularly rare TBH, but the earlier models with this kind of chuck are harder to find in great condition! You should buy a brace and drill all the holes in your bench the old fashioned way, takes ages but kind of therapeutic :D I often file things that I could have sorted out with a grinder in a tenth of the time :D Thanks again for watching/commenting, I don't really have massive goals for this channel, just fixing things and enjoying doing so at the minute, would be nice to break 1000 subs though!
SparesOrRepair I do have a couple of braces, but I also have some unusual nerve damage around my lungs, which is phenomenally painful and my lung function is around 18% at my baseline. That’s as well as now being extreme asthmatic. I do like using my brace and bits, but like every else Im limited how much I can do. Anything over one one inch deep hole requires an ambulance on standby.
Mark Harris that sounds pretty harsh, must be hard not being able to enjoy a hobby without possibly causing pain. Good thing about coffee drills over cordless is the lightness, the batteries are a huge chunk of weight, makes them more cumbersome for sure! You should be able to pick up a decent one for cheap on eBay, no need to buy a cheap new one!
Well, this is the third video of yours I have watched this evening. You have a new subscriber and I hit the bell. I have a few of those tools in metal probably a different brand but perhaps from the same era. I was going to toss them because they were given to me and I didn't need them. You have inspired me to restore them. Thanks those turned out beautifully. I also learned from the bench grinder about the varnish you put on the winding. Nice to learn something new.
Thanks for the sub! I won't lie, sanding strangely shaped items like the drill casing to a mirror finish is a bit of a nightmare, and once you're done you'll be scared to use it in case you scratch it! Looks ace though :D! Post a link to pics if you do decide to give it a go, always like to see others restorations!
Fantastic job indeed. My father earlier this year took one of these to bits but due to ill health never got it back together, so my first ever restoration is of the same drill, so finding this vid is a life saviour, Thx. I know this not a forum but one question is one of the wires feeding one of the bushes is badly damaged, what exactly would I need to replace it? Yes I know wire (before someone comments) are those resistors that are taped up? Thanks in advance.
Jon C cheers, it was one of my most enjoyable restorations to date, lot of work in the sanding though!!! I’m not sure what’s under the wire covers tbh, it never even crossed my mind! If you’re replacing them anyway my plan of attack would be to strip the wire back and do a bit of investigation work, never know if you don’t look! Keep me updated on how it turns out 👍
@@sparesorrepair9118 Thought I would let know that the small thing taped up are inductors to stop TV/Radio interference, got some to try, thats before I get the trigger device together, you stated in your video it was a bit of a nightmare, I have other words, I just cant get it together, just about to give up.
Jon C when I stripped the other switch from the spare I noticed you can slot the ball in the tube, one end is slightly chamfered to stop the ball from dropping out! The person who assembled this one before me must’ve put it together wrong and I just copied! Good luck getting it back together!
@@sparesorrepair9118 Well a big thx to you, shes up and running and running well, that trigger device, I just did what you said and all fine. Oh she`s pure jet black in colour. Thanks again.
Great video, I am following steps shown in your video to restore my drill. I did not realise there is an inductor fitted in one of the wire and I cut through the inductor. Do you know any details regarding the inductor? e.g. Current + Henry( u or milli H).
Hi, excellent video, I am doing a Cub and a Quartermast at the moment, both have the same front bearing the one in them is a metric 6201 with an imperial bore of 15/32" (11.9mm), the only ones I have found are 32mm x 10mm x 1/2" bore (which is no good) or a metric 32mm x 10mm x 12mm bore, can you tell me which bearing did you use ? regards John
@@sparesorrepair9118 Brilliant, I decided to order that one and try it. on another matter, do know what the small elec component is next to the switch on the Quartermaster, it has 3 wires, live, Earth, Neutral, I think it's a capacitor but i'm not electrical, it's casing is broken and is guts are bulging out, it has no ID on it, but the drill still works, I would like to replace it if possible. Regards John
Great restoration. You have a new subscriber. :). I thpought the chuck was an early 'keyless' chuck. The allen key is to hold the shaft still while the chuck is tightened / undone. The allen grub is there to lock the chuck to the shaft so it doesnt come undone. Just my thought. The chuck is just like a hand drill or a brace and bit drill. :)
Thanks a lot! I’m not sure what the grub screw does tbh, but the shaft and chuck housing seem to be one solid piece, I may unscrew it and investigate further! It does appear to be very much like an old hand drill chuck though, maybe it just looks like one piece... Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
How come two different color greases? Is on specifically for bearings? I’m about to restore a drill and got general purpose machine grease. Will this work?
Yeah, the red grease is specifically for bearings, a general purpose grease will work just fine, I have lots of different specific types on my shelves though! TBH, a sealed bearing would have been the best practical option as they don't require greasing, I wanted to stay true to the original design though so bought an open race.
Would you mind discussing your grease decision for your bearing? You used a red grease inside the bearing. What was it and why did you select it over the brown grease? I'm about to start restoring this same Cub drill, and it's my first real restoration project, and had assumed that I'd simply replace the bearing. Regreasing it wasn't in my mind until i saw your video. I have a tube of pretty standard grease and a tube of some copper high-heat grease lying around. I'll be using those. Is there any reason to think otherwise?
markinlondon01 the brown grease I used on the gears is designed to be a bit stickier and longer lasting, the red grease is a high temp grease specifically developed for use in bearings and can be used in high temp applications. For this project either grease would be fine but as I have the specific greases at hand I just used both :). I did replace the bearing with a new skf brand bearing but I lost the footage of it being changed out, still quite new to editing! If you need any spare parts (except an armature!) hit me up, I have a good few lying around after this project :). Good luck!
@@sparesorrepair9118 Thanks! I picked up the version with the grinding wheel and a little lathe tool rest, but did not get the lathe tailstock. It might be fun to find the and have the entire set up and running.
@@Playingwithsettings May I point out that it didn't appear that you packed the bearing with grease sufficiently. The best way to pack a bearing with grease is to put a sizable glob of grease on the palm of your hand, and then press the bearing into the grease. Keep doing this until the grease is pressed through the bearing. You'll need to continue this until the grease is pressed around the entire bearing. Just smearing some grease around the outside of the bearing as you did isn't getting the grease onto the races and balls (or rollers if greasing a roller bearing). Otherwise, great job.
What connectors are they at the end of the wires? The ring ones. I've looked everywhere to find one but all i can find are ring crimp connectors and they don't fit like the ones there already on the drill and one broke off so i need a replacement.
Sintered bushes, made from metal powder, should be immersed in oil and the oil heated until no more air bubbles appear. Last for ever, never had to replace one.
T-Wrecks Customs can’t beat polished aluminium, looks lovely! I am a bit scared of using this for anything major though as I don’t want to scratch it after all the hours of sanding 😂
I have my dad's Wolf cub drill. It's a beautiful drill , small but reliable. I have misplaced the spoilt armature and can't seem to locate it. Can anyone/ you help me to get a working replacement armature?
I was waiting for a spindle adapter to arrive, the bench grinder is fully set as a buffer now and getting plenty of use in my current project! Thanks for watching!
Three questions: 1. What is it you use here? th-cam.com/video/7bncmQlTE3c/w-d-xo.html 2. What grease did you use for the bearing? 3. What grease did you use here? th-cam.com/video/7bncmQlTE3c/w-d-xo.html I just finished all cleaning, received new wires (insolation is breaking down) and a new choke supressor (broke it myself...).
1. Commutator Stick, it’s a soft grit tool used for seating carbon brushes and cleaning armatures/commutators. A fine grit sandpaper will do the same job but here is a link if you want the proper tool: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202595149265 2&3. Any decent grease will work, I used a higher temp bearing grease for the bearing as I planned on using this drill as a die grinder so will be running for long times, but only because I have different grades available, no need to use different greases for both parts
@@sparesorrepair9118 Thanks!! Almost completed!! But :( :( I lost a part!! Searched for hours... missing the parts you put inside the on the on/off button.. I see it is on your spare armature th-cam.com/video/7bncmQlTE3c/w-d-xo.html .. I know the video is quite old, so probably you don't have it anymore.. But IF you still have it, can we arrange something by postal mail? :)?

Yes, the bearing will likely be starved of grease. I'd have been leary that the bearing was even sound, given the drill's age.

@@sparesorrepair9118 wow thanks for the quick response!!
@@astonmartijnbruno no probs, good luck with the rebuild 👍
@@sparesorrepair9118 Thanks!! Almost completed!! But :( :( I lost a part!! Searched for hours... missing the parts you put inside the on the on/off button.. I see it is on your spare armature th-cam.com/video/7bncmQlTE3c/w-d-xo.html .. I know the video is quite old, so probably you don't have it anymore.. But IF you still have it, can we arrange something by postal mail? :)?
@@astonmartijnbruno I have a box of spares, I’ll have a look in a few days when I’m off shift and let you know 👍
