![Drill Press [Restoration]: Walker-Turner 900 (Andre The Giant) with a MuggyWeld repair on pulley.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LAnmExyCwTA/mqdefault.jpg)
This press has worked like a charm for my projects th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
I like the fact that you slid the bottom the full length of the post in stead of taking it off the shorter distance off the bottom
Wouldn’t go out that way. Thanks for watchint
What an accomplishment ... for one person to misuse that many tools on one simple project !!!
Shoo troll, shoo!!
Parts And Restoration Dumbass
I watched this before, I'm back! Restoring my WT press and ready to soak up some other (you) guys experience. Love that old heavy beast.
Flip flops! Nice! The music at the end was my favorite part
I love the old Alien Head drill presses! I would LOVE to find one for my shop!! Turned out great! Hope things are getting better on the home front!
So much of this I liked. Lot of attention to detail, but I want you to keep going. Either way, you belong to the "throw away the throw-away-culture", man. Bravo!
Will Black thanks will. I’m not sure what you mean by keep going. More projects? More thorough cleaning? Just not sure. Either way thank you!!
That’s a beautiful piece for the collection!
Just purchased a Walker Turner 9dp1040... Great video so much attention to detail 👍
I love how you made the stand pipe sound like an Australian didgeridoo! I also like watching restorations. I don't often do restoration but occasionally I'll find some old rusted tool at a garage or a yard sale, or at a flea market. I also find on occasion something someone was throwing away that I could fix or put to some other use. I just subscribed and clicked on the bell. I never know when watching restorations I may learn something new.
Almost eighteen years ago I bought a drill press and a table saw from an old machinist (he was in his 80s at that point) who had made prototypes for Walker-Turner. Interesting fellow, though. He was a real craftsman. I saw some of his work and he was insanely precise about everything.
Great job....greatings from Romania!!!
👍Machine gray is the color all non-plastic machinery should be.
Ayy freaking men
@@partsandresto 😂😂😂
I have the bench top version of this drill press. It's a wonderful machine!
You can always tell a pro by the quality of his safety flip flops
Safety flops for the win
Parts & Restoration flippy flops for the gay loser. Get serious dude!
I congratulate you, excellent worker friend !!!
I have a WT 1-1140 bought from my neighbor for $150 and did a restore around 2017. Too bad he painted the WT tag on the head. Even the mast, he didn't at least use a Scotch pad or easier yet, plumbers sand cloth, like I did. I even did a light spray with clear lacquer on all the steel parts that weren't painted, even the mast. It sits in a garage and before I did the restore it got a bit of surface rust just from the humidity in there. It's been about 4-5 years and still looks brand new. I didn't take it all apart, if it's not broke, don't fix it. (or as AVE says, 'If it's not broke, fix it until it is'. lol). The only thing I would like to do is to test the runout on it. Just use it a few times a month for stuff around the house instead of a hand drill, nothing with needed precision. I bought a 3" drill press vise which fits very nice, using 5/16" stainless bolts and wing nuts.
Beautiful! I personally would have left the head badge unpainted. Your badge looked like it was in great shape, mine is in bad shape. Awesome looking dp though! Good job!
Great video...well done
Very good restoration job 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
A worthy project. The suspense of whether you'd break a casting or the furnace would kick on ending the video in a flash of orange light kept me glued to the edge of my seat. When you dropped the headstock I was sure you'd have broken something and pinched off a couple of fingers. Thanks for documenting many a bumble, not that I'd do any better if every move was documented. PS: So that's how second hand shooting irons end up in such... er... remarkable condition. Thanks for the posting. Your video was mildly instructive and far more entertaining than 90% of what's on TV.
Ha! I’m glad you enjoyed Mark. I’m no expert, just a guy in his shop. Experts, more often than not, just edit out their mistakes. I’m not sure I know what a shooting iron is, please enlighten me!
You're right about "experts" editing out their boo-boos. I know a guy who writes for the woodworking magazines. He often uses uses flashy looking lumber like lacewood but doesn't even bother sanding. Dad referred to firearms as "shooting irons", a faux hayseedism. In the case of your video, I mean the .22 being fogged in rattle can gray overspray.
Mark Koons ah. Thanks for the reply Mark. Yeah that gun is broken anyway, purchased it that way as a gunsmith special, which is why I don’t care about it at all. It’s getting fully stripped and rebuilt at some point.
Great video. A little 15" W/Turner bench top drill press followed me home. I'LL HAVE TO DO THIS! :) She runs, and $110.00, couldn't be beat! :)
Love to see old tools and equipment put back in operation,how ever Face-mask,eye shield and flip-flops you crack me up,But nice job hope it serves you well and look forward to more videos
I really appreciate your obvious swearing while working, it's very authentic to actually restoring tools other than the guys who make it all seem like a snap!
Andrew Nelson hahaha just recording real life brother, you know how it is!
Andrew Nelson thanks for the compliment!
@@partsandresto oh for sure, but where's the clips of the wife yelling down the basement steps that it's too late for grinding and power tools?? that CANT just be me
Yeah, I’ve definitely had to use some creative editing to get those out of the videos. Not joking...
I'm starting restorations. So I loved that you showed that things go wrong, fall over, sometimes you hit something with a wrench, and make do. I sometimes look down and notice that I'm barefoot in my shop, so I understand the sandals thing too. But I didn't know that the Jacobs Chuck had any drawbacks or criticism.
Nah, Jacobs chucks are awesome. They’re just nothing compared to a 400 dollar Albrecht German engineered keyless
I have a similar walker turner drill press. Very nice to have and makes the shop look good.
Yes indeed, they’re the best
Nice job man
Fantastic looks great nice one 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Brian!!
Very nice, did a bench top version of that a few years ago, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍
Good job man, i really like the job you did!
Thank you my friend!
That looks great. Nice job. I would love to do the same with this old Orbit 1412 I just picked up. Thank you for the inspiration to do it.
Get after it Tom! Sorry it took me so long to reply! Life and all...
Unfortunately, you will be stuck with the Jacobs keyed chuck on that Orbit - they used a Jacobs Taper 2-1/2 (JT 2 1/2) for the chuck and I have yet to find a keyless chuck with that taper. :-(
Great drill press restoration! I checked into that Albrecht drill chuck you used! OMG, are they expensive!! No wonder I still see so many original Jacobs chucks reused!!
The Chinesium clone “keyless chucks” are apparently pretty decent
I used to own a 10" Walker Turner table saw it was a good saw.
Nice job ! Thanks for the vid, you sure have a lot of people worried about your feet, must make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know so many care.
Haha it’s kinda weird how many people are worried about my feet. I’m certainly not
Parts And Restoration 😂
Each person works to their own safety standards based on their experience and ability. I say if you don't see the person getting hurt then don't say anything cause obviously they know what they are doing. Keep doing it the way you want to and ignore the others
good job....from Mauritius
Nice Work!!
Great video' I have the WT 900 bench model. It still has the factory black paint on it. I may clean it up and repaint it. It is already in close to mint condition. I found it on Facebook Market place for $50. Could not wait drove over there right away and picked it up. The Walker Turners are very high quality tools.
terry cannon good find! They are excellent quality. Glad you got a good deal too!
Nice job!
Thanks RD L!
You've done a good job of this restoration and enjoyed watching. I have a similar looking 1950's/60's solid drill press that I intend to restore soon - will look at name plate to see if it is a Walker Turner. Watch Keith Fenner's video (not Keith Rucker) on restoration and upgrading of a Chinese bench grinder. He turned it around and it became a much better machine than the factory original.
Great video 😊
nice job and thanks for putting together the video. My spring broke. Any idea where to get a duplicate return spring (3/4” wide)? Not having luck finding it. thx
Call Cook Machine and Tool in New Jersey. If not them, check ebay.
love the Aussie Safety Boots!
nightshadejpc haha! Not sure what that word “safety” means. Must be an Aussie thing 😂😂😂😂
Please share with us what cleaning solvents and bearings lubricant you used for the motor. Was that a wire wheel or a flap wheel on your angle grinder? I think I see a sand blaster in your shop. Why did you not use that for the smaller parts? Did you use a "rust reformer" product for your paint primer?
Tenho uma dessa WT série 500 completa. Muito boa, perfeita.
I can't believe you beat on that irreplaceable casting with a hammer
🤷🏻♂️ can’t tell if You’re joking or not, it’s been nothing but triggered baby boomers in here lately.
Muito top seu trabalho
What color did you spray the main frame and base and what type of paint did you use?
What brand chuck did you put on the press? I didn’t quite catch it. And what size chuck did you use I’m guessing 3/4”?
How did you get the pulley out of the bidet I’m doing a the Same restoration and I’m suck on that part
Looks like u had a fun time getting those parts off the rusty pillar
flightworks ugh, it was terrible 😂
Love that you gear up but still drives an anglegrinder near your bare feet. :)
Haha. Gotta protect the important stuff! Shop Flops for life!
Parts & Restoration shop flippy flops are dead and unwanted in the shop. Wise up for more subs.
working on my 900 series now, can the step pulley be salvaged if the splines are slipping?
en si el taladro es una obra de arte muy bien hecho
I rebuilt a 1943 version. I used electrolysis for cleaning up the head and post. Sure beats a wire wheel and it does a better job. I masked the emblems, they pop in the raw but I may color them on. I used a SP350 spray wax on the column and table so it's still bare steel/cast iron but protected from corrosion. Looks great overall
Beautiful press, where did you find it?
respect!
how much overspray did you get on the rifle?
Nice restoration. New sub, cheers
Joe's Shop thank you again brother!
Yup, I even put the same type of green link-belt on my 1938 Cincinnati drill press but I only put 5% of the work into refurbing it as you did. It's a bit crusty but it wouldn't work any better if I painted it. Remarkable how the parts on mine are almost identical to those on yours. I also agree you should throw a tie wrap around and shorten up the power cable from the switch to the motor...that big loop is asking for trouble.
Thanks for watching brother! Like you and others suggested, I shortened that cord up. There was TONS of industrial espionage and reverse engineering going on back in the day. You better believe Cincinnati had some informers inside WT
very satisfying. subbed for more
Thanks!! welcome!!
The next restoration will be to put order in your workshop and wear safety shoes it's cool hi the friend
Based on the name plate this is a pre 1948 machine. Walker Turner is now Rockwell in Mississippi
Yes sir!
Got a notification, hoped it was the Delta Milwaukee band saw. But, this will work.
Loved your video, great job!!! What was the paint you used?
Coastal grey from rustoleum!
Grate job, I don’t know if your interested but I would like a few pointer . I just pick up a Boswell Indiana bico machine drill press to restore; it has a wobble in the chuck , I figure it needs Bering ; where would I find parts
Hey Ed, you can order bearings online or at a bearing distributor. pull the old ones out and take them to the distributor and theyll size them for you or you can pull them, measure them, and order new ones that way
19:36 This column is the original? They are much thicker and heavy! (Like safety sandals! ja ja ja). Great job!
Dons PPE, grinds in Nike sandals. Sub'd.
Yessssss. Zero fucks #safetythird
At 25:25 (ish) what is that cup type part he is replacing do? My Buffalo drill press has something similar there and I can't figure what it does . .. one thought was that by turning it either direction, control how fast or slow the quill will returns to the top of the stroke
Swedish Holmberg that is exactly what that part is. It covers up a clock spring that does what you suggested
Why did you wire wheel the parts when it looks like youve got a good sized blast cabinet? Also, is that blast cabinet made out of a drum? Is that a kit or a homemade piece?
I am restoring one myself. I have the same spindle bearings. I would like to see how he removed them????
Excellent renovation big man, nice bit of kit. But you of all people should know that heavy steel meeting bare feet doesn't make for a pretty sight🤔🙂
Nice job, big guy. Wish I had a floor model drill press. My bench top one will have to do for now. :) Oh, by the way....cute safety sandals! ;)
Thanks Jack!! Safety sandals are the safest sandals a man can wear!
Parts & Restoration no REAL man wears flippy flops or sandals in the shop. Unless you use the women’s restrooms.
Great video! Do you have a link to the keyless chuck that you used? Thanks!
No link but it’s made by Albrecht
Great job! I'd love to have one of these vintage Drill Press in my workshop someday.
4:09 I'm confused, there are pins in both flanges, yet you just pried them like they have threads?
4:56 tolerances old school, yeah baby!
I like that you kept it as close to the original as possible, I know the paint is a different colour but it's fairly close.
A great video, but has anyone mentioned your footwear?
Hey Mark, thanks for watching! The truth is, when I’m working at home in my basement shop, I tent to be lax with PPE best practices regarding close toed shoes. I know it’s less safe but it’s a risk I’m willing to take when I’m on my time my dime. I am aware that it’s dumb and not recommended. Be sure to subscribe and look for a delta Milwaukee 14” bandsaw resto next week!
Parts & Restoration I simply can’t subscribe to flippy flops or sandals. You want more subs...do what’s necessary to be safe and a man.
Did you ever think about using a ball-joint fork to remove those pulleys? Beating them off like that runs the danger of warping them. Just a thought.
Hope you are teaching the young one good workshop personal protection, dust masks, hearing protection etc..
Just watched your video on the restoration of the 14 inch bandsaw nice job it looks beautiful. I own one out in the garage it’s an old Rockwell same exact saw except the base is not nearly as nice as yours. That said I’m curious why you would shit-can the original motor. Those things are tanks and they last forever. Never have to worry about replacing it. I just was curious why you did that, if you want to donate it to a good cause, cause I need one let me know I’d be happy to take it. LOL thanks for your video it was great!
All that Safety gear and Wearing Sandals!!! Lmao My kind of Guy for sure! i think im in Love 💘 haha Great Video Bro, I Loved it!!!! Subscribed. Have a Great and Blessed day.
daviddaddy Dads named David just think alike. The proof is in the pudding 😁
@@partsandresto He has a Great Name lol I bet hes a handsome fella like me too lol. im binge watching your videos right now lol i just moved on to the Bandsaw haha. Man your channel is going to be huge someday! You have Great Content, Wonderful Editing Skills and your Since of humor has me Laughing and smiling the entire videos haha. Great Job man! I cant Express how much i already Love your Channel haha. I may be your favorite youtube Stalker soon lol.
Guy in love with another guy wearing flippy flops in the shop...yep is a gay nation for sure.
How about some thumbs up for using a respirator and HEPA Filter fan to collecting the lead dust from wire brushing Walker Turner drill press made ~ 1940-50s. My guess, it has lead paint.
Make yourself a 3' x 3' drip pan out of 1/2" plywood & fiberglass with 1/2" sidewalls to retain scrapings and fluids. It will save your workbench and paper sheeting, and towels.
Excellent idea!! Thanks!!
I just acquired a Walker Turner Drill press 1 944 model. I am interested in the chuck you installed in the video. I am looking at restoring this unit for myself and I appreciate the video to help me take this one apart.
Ah yes, the ever-popular Albrecht chuck. They’re very expensive but I hear that some Chinese “Keyless Chucks” are pretty good.
What size keyless chuck is this spindle??? Hard to find the manual on these old ones
Mark W littlemachineshop.com/reference/tapers.php here are your tapers. Measure what’s on the machine with calipers to see what’s on there. The “instruction sheet” found here vintagemachinery.org/pubs/808/386.pdf doesn’t give a clear answer. It may be a JT33 taper but I’m not sure.
5:03 I need one of those switches without the implosion!
does it have a depth stay gauge? somehow I remember that, That model had one
It does indeed
New Subscriber....
Great Job. Loved the restoration. Question... Do you have the Link for the chuck at 25:54
Hey Shane, thanks and welcome aboard! That’s an albrecht chuck. They are exceedingly expensive pieces of German engineering. My understanding is that the Chinese clones are quite good. Google or amazon search “Keyless Chuck” and I believe these machines use a JT33 taper but it’s best to measure your taper geometry and know for sure
The metal should be held in a vice not your hand when using a drill.
Hi I’m in the UK and I just bought a bench top one of these and would like to restore it anyone over there knows where I can get parts such as belt, belt cover, original switch and a nice chuck like he put on 😋 very great full chaps. Ian 👍
How do you only have 948 subscribers?!? I'm in!
I guess because I’m new on the scene. Spread the word! Thanks!!!
Parts & Restoration lose the footwear and you’ll get more subsz
OK, someone already mentioned the painting of the motor end caps. WHY did you paint over a pristine original, metal walker-turner label? Why not use the sand blaster in your shop for all that cast iron cleaning? You need to get a buffing wheel to polish some of the things (on/off switch, the handle knobs and handles, etc.
I saw this exact one in a storage locker sale today. Been trying to find out about it. It needed to be restored. Are they worth anything restored ?
They’re valuable when restored, lots of aspiring craftsmen out there!
Restored or unrestored, it’s a great piece of equipment to have in your shop. You’ll use it more often than you think.
I had a sears that looked just like that
Do you know if WT made a version that has a tilting table feature? I love the old iron but I also don't really want to give up my tilting table. Looking for an 'old iron' drill press that has one. Any suggestions?
barnyardkh4 ooh, easy solution! Get a tilting vise!!
@@partsandresto Yeah - But you didn't answer my question! LOL!!!
barnyardkh4 probably not but I don’t know.
@@partsandresto Do you have a recommendation for a good tilting vise brand that I can start searching for? I'd prefer to follow your lead and rescue some old iron and put it back into service.
very good work, it was not good to paint the badges, I hope you can correct that.
Hey, Dave, I didn't know you were a musician, too! So funny.
This looks a lot like my old Craftsman... what did you use on your angle grinder to clean the post so well?
That would be a cup style wire wheel. NOT KNOTTED CUP, fine non knitted cup
Question: I have an original w-t 1100 im working on wiring. My problem is there are 3 wires protruding from the 220v, 3/4h.p, 3 phase motor, all black and cloth insulated therefore unidentified. How do i identify them? Are they 2 hots and 1 ground? I also have a period power switch id like to use on it. The switch has 3 terminals on each side (6 total) so id also like to know which wires i connect to the switch terminals? All 3? Just hots? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
3 phase motor = 3 hot connections. If the motor turns the wrong direction, switch any two of the connections. You should have Line 1 (L1), Line 2 (L2), and Line 3 (L3). All are 120 volt measured to ground.
Thanks for the assist Dwayne!
Thanks guys, my first experience with 3 phase, and relatively new to 220v wiring. Heres another one, what do i use to clean the inside of the motor, what can i use to lube it and what are any precautions i should know about regarding cleaning and lubing the motor? Thanks again!!
Chris, replace the bearings using sealed (not shielded) bearings (around 10$ each), then no lube is needed. As for cleaning, 1) do not mess with the windings (the copper coils) which are covered in lacquer. The lacquer is the insulation and must not be damaged. All other parts can be cleaned using WD-40, mineral spirits, or a soapy wet rag. Or just wipe out with a clean dry rag, it depends on the kind of material your are trying to clean out of the motor housing. Be sure to dry thoroughly before reassembly. There are a number of good TH-cam videos on motors and repairs.
Awesome, thanks again!!
Pl.upload separate video of spinde repairng
It might be a good idea to shorten the dangling power cable between switch and motor lest something catch on it.
Darryll Crook not a bad idea Darryl. Thanks for watching!
@@partsandresto Or at least zip tie it up.
