That’s simply beautiful, an excellent restoration. I really like black and gold and it was a great choice for the off/on switch. A very enjoyable video, thank you.
Gorgeous job! I'm constantly looking out for one of these drill presses myself and snatching up all sorts of antique motors when I find them (much to my wife's dismay). Looking forward to seeing others!
I love it. If I ever find one in a barn or shop that I can afford I would love to have one in my shop just to look at. I love the Old Iron. Thanks for the video. And thanks for saving it.
its very amazing I love the old machines you restore the drilling machine but now you need refurbice your lathe I see that is very old good luck with this beuteful machines
I am deeply impressed by your patience, skill, competence and dedication ! What once would have been 'just' a tool with strictly utilitarian purpose has become a work of art. I congratulate you.
Hi from England It's an interesting design that clearly shows there's a transition still taking place at the time that was made from overhead flat belt drives to electric drives... Interestingly enough a UK company (DENBIGH) still made an old flat belt design (what you refer to in the USA as a "camelback" design) upto and including 1975... You can spot the back end of the production run of these as they all have a cast bracket for the AC drive... But it's clear with them they have their origins in the early 1900s... Its a nice piece is that there... I've several bench mounted flat belt drills myself...
Just picked up a similar one today. Mine has the motor hanging off the bracket that holds the intermediate pulleys on yours. It has a V belt and I think it’s a bit of a Frankenstein but it works. I plan to pretty it up and it will be my working drill press in my home shop. Funny but I was planning gloss black with gold too, it just seems to want to be that. Great work, I hope mine comes out half as nice.
Thanks for the info. I just found one in the trash. Mine is a bit like yours, Frankensteined over the years. Also have the V belt and it's a straight belt from motor pulley to drill pulley. The only thing is the original motor bracket must have been trashed, cause they fabricated one with flat bar to hold the motor. Motor looks somewhat original (at least period correct) by the look and nameplate. I don't know if I could find another drill pulley, cause mine is in a bad shape. Would like to know what you turn yours into after restoring.
Nice refurbish. A couple of suggestions. Need to rotate the motor end castings so the oilers and in the up position. Flip the twin idler pulleys 180 so that the bolt tightens from the “50e” side, easier to snug up the belt when the screw is working with you not against you. There is also a return spring apparently missing to keep the quill from drifting south.
Wayne P you are right on the money. I only realized there was supposed to be a return spring up top after the watching some other videos, and good call on the idler pulley too. I'm not sure about the oilers though- they are reservoir cups with a wick inside. There is a spring that lightly holds the wick up against the shaft and the wick picks up oil from the cup.
@@benstown7209 Your call on the oilers. I have one too, although slightly different. I suspect mine is all original. When I got it, it was pretty cruddy with oil, grease and dirt, so I went over it with “Purple” cleaner, and low and behold the original paint was in pretty good shape (dark machinery gray), so I left it be and kept the patina. The motor appears original too and operates fine, a 1/3 HP, I can date to 1928. The difference is mine has a boss on the back of the column and a hole for the motor shaft, an outboard bearing. The original switch is a lever action on a nickel plated plate. I’m amazed it still works, and you’d never find a replacement. I have to go your way if it broke. The whole drill came mounted on a 1X12 clear pine. I knew it was old when I measured the 1X and it was actually 1 inch thick. Well, my guess is that yours is slightly older as they made a mod for the motor shaft support on mine. Good luck with yours, you should try your hand on something bigger now like that lathe…lol
Nice work I wasn’t sure about the gloss black but the gold lettering and brass switch plate sets it off nice. Subbed and liked. BTW when you cleaned the other old motor did you use anything to degrease the inside? The coils/winding in particular? I have an old motor I’d like to recondition. Thanks
Cory- I was afraid to use anything on the old motor windings because the insulation was so deteriorated and brittle. I just lightly brushed it off and blew it out with low pressure compressed air.
Man that Came out Beautiful!!! What Great Restoration job you did. Looks better than New! What paint did you use? I love that glossy black on Antiques. Hope you have a Nice Day brother.
Thanks! I just used XO rust spray paint, this time it was a paint and primer in one, nothing fancy. I usually use enamel, it takes a while to fully cure but its pretty durable.
I found that these are about 1920 built..but i cud be off..also...there is a cover that cover the electeonics on the back of the motor...mine has it ..if u want i can send u a pic ..maybe u can replicate it somehow
Thanks hammer1212- I'm new to making videos so my production value is still kinda poor. I'm working on improving as I make more videos, thanks for watching!
Hi, you lost me when you went fwd, sorry your video might have been really good, I will never know. Keep doing what you love. It's just not my like. Cheers👍
That's a beautiful drill press and you did a wonderful restoration job on it.

Fantastic job! you sure brought it back to life...well done.
Beautiful job!
Your attention to detail is second to none and it really pays off here.

i really like it well don

Great job.....it's actually a museum quality piece now....thanks for sharing
Hi Ben, outstanding restoration! Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I love it. If I ever find one in a barn or shop that I can afford I would love to have one in my shop just to look at. I love the Old Iron. Thanks for the video. And thanks for saving it.
i have one that you might be interested in terry
Great video!
Good job. I like how you walked us through it. Keep them coming.
you are an artist you made my day by your fine quality job . thank you very much.
walid Josef thank you for watching!
its very amazing I love the old machines you restore the drilling machine but now you need refurbice your lathe I see that is very old good luck with this beuteful machines
Good job, it looks ready for another 100 years service. I would have liked mine in grey or blue.
Great find and restoration. Maybe we can see you use it in future restorations.
Great work, very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport UK.

Got a photo to share? Think mine may be similar to yours.

Very cool drill press!
Nice old drill press, good job.
I congratulate you, excellent worker friend !!!
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice.
Best restoration job. Keep it going. I want more
Thanks for the encouragement- I have some interesting restorations in the works now
That’s the cutest drill press I’ve ever seen.
Nice job looking good 👍👍👍👍
it turned out awesome!!!
Thanks! It was a fun project- working on improving my production quality for future videos now.
The drill press is very beautiful
I want to have!!!
Bello. Bravissimo !!!
Very good restoration 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
What a cool piece! Have you actually used it to drill stuff since the restoration?
Very nice job.. you should be proud of that... I'd put it in a glass case.. Again, very nice...
GREAT JOB .
In the past,industrialists were concerned by quality AND aesthetic. I would like to find today such a machine.
I couldn't agree more. These old machines were often very elegant.
Cool factor Infinite.
nice machine mister
It looks great. Very well done. As others have said, try to improve your lighting.
Very nice
If I knew where this was I would drive there and steal it.
Cool. I did not know they made these type of drills that small. I wonder how it would stack up against my little Chinese drill press :)
Nice work I wasn’t sure about the gloss black but the gold lettering and brass switch plate sets it off nice. Subbed and liked. BTW when you cleaned the other old motor did you use anything to degrease the inside? The coils/winding in particular? I have an old motor I’d like to recondition. Thanks

One suggestion, need better lighting. Enjoyed the video.

Excellent job! Wish the lighting was better. Subscribed!
Thanks hammer1212- I'm new to making videos so my production value is still kinda poor. I'm working on improving as I make more videos, thanks for watching!
Great work , maybe refinish your lathe. It made me sad to see it in that state
Chris Nixon i’d love to refinish it but it’s kind of a daunting task. I’m sure I’ll get to it one of these days
Great job, the zinc plated bolts look too new!
I read that Monster Garage is coming back...
Hi, you lost me when you went fwd, sorry your video might have been really good, I will never know. Keep doing what you love. It's just not my like. Cheers👍
Sweet !
Check www.vintagemachinery.org for more information. They have a serial # registry and all sorts of old iron references.
Nice Job ,which is this red Fuller That you put on and Sandet it ?
I will buy this Fuller .
Please help im from Germany
Greatings 🙋🏻♂️
I think you are referring to the mini lathe I used in the video. Google 7" x 10" mini lathe and you should get plenty of results.
Benstown he’s asking about the red primer you mentioned that fills.
@boss your Right
Thank you
🇪🇨👍🏻
