Why was the catalyst label covered with tape?

I hand brush my planes so I don't have to deal with the taping. I really don't see the advantage of spraying (IMO).

You're using the torch the wrong way. The flame is hottest at the very end, not right at the nozzle !

What's in the bottle

amazing restore, love the matte black finish, it really pops! the gold lettering was the cherry ontop. So nice that each part has delta cast into it, that detail just adds more value to it!

great video. im in the process of restoring a 50's delta lathe. im trying to rebuild the motor now. do you have any links to old delta motor parts like bearings or capacitors and switches?

Nice Job ! You left off bracket under capacitor and your pulley is upside down on motor. But you did a real Nice Job.

great info, also, where can i get a on/ off power stitch for this drill press

Greetings, nice work on the restoration. I have completed one similar for an old table saw but mine was wired with a reversing switch. I bought a replacement switch with 4 terminals and a replacement power cord with 3 conduits like yours. I have four conduits coming from the motor. I know the green ground goes to the shell of the motor, but I was wondering if you know where the other wires should be connected to the switch terminal? There are 2 wires coming off the wire winding and 2 coming off the front of the motor in the little access panel for the capacitor and then the 3 for the power cord. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I just picked one up myself and it’s in really great shape all things considered. I do need to get replacement lens. But could you tell me which let bulbs you used?

Any new videos coming out ?

I just bought one for 3 dollars at a flea market. Can’t wait to restore this hunk of junk!

Your attention to detail is noteworthy. However I believe that 5/16 carriage bolts were originally used to mount the motor. Also it appeared that you installed coupling nuts on the motor draw bolts for no clear reason.

Very early machine, late 20’s possibly. Good resto as far as it went, but the base is backwards. And of course no v belt or motor. So you still have work to do.

Amazing restoration. Noticed that you didn't remove the chuck.....do you happen to know if it's threaded on (reverse/normal) or if it's a Morse taper?

Awesome work

What type wood handles are those? It has a nice red color to it.

Hey John, getting ready to do this with 3 of these lights. You jump from goldish tint on the light housing to shiny. Did you have to replate it or just rounds of polish. I will be checking out the Vintage Wire shop too. thanks.

This is great. There is a video of another guy beating the heck out of multiple parts with a hammer, made me nearly sick. This method is much safer so as not to destroy the machine. I recently acquired a 1941 DP220 14" bench and am ready to disassemble the head, glad I found this video. Unfortunately my press is missing the needle indicator and the needle indicator mount/button. Really stinks, not sure what to do other than buy another press. My understanding is the needle holder has some spring inside it and should never be removed. Just my luck. All I have is a hole where it used to be. Oh well.

That flat black looks SICK! I am going to use that to paint mine. I think I'll paint the power switch red to make it pop as well. What do you do in the Navy (one more drill and I'll hang up my USNR career after 30 yrs-MSC--medical not the other)

Beautiful restoration job. I love the flat black with the bronze lettering. Looks much better than what ever colors came from the factory. I am restoring an old UK DP that is very similar. How did you get rid of the arch of shame on the table and restore the base to such immaculate condition?

These retirement lamps are the coolest thing. I have 2 of em. I think one could make a great little desk lamp more for looks

Where'd you get that light at?

а что снизу шасси не покрасил?

I have a 1937 DP220 that I’m beginning to restore. It was painted an ugly green at so point, and I would really like to strip it and do a finish like your’s. can you tell me what type of primer and paint you used? Thanks!

I just bought this light and going to restore it. What LED bulbs did you use?

Beautiful work! Keep it up and the subs will come! Subscribed!

Nice restoration.

I was about to comment on the gold leafing, then I saw you beating on the spindle bearing with a steel wrench, are you kidding, don’t you think a brass hammer would have been the appropriate tool? I restored the same drill press, painted it blue and polished all the steel, including the column to the point it almost looked like chrome. Sold it the first day I posted it to Craigslist, $375. Didn’t have the retirement light.

Nice job, I have the same model that I need to replace the chuck on. Can you tell me how to get the chuck off?

I am surprised you didn't paint the bottom.

Sir how do I remove the drill chuck for maintenance on this model?

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to put cotton swabs (Q-Tips) in the screw thread holes to prevent paint from getting inside the threads

Wow, now that is what I call a drill press... Just curious, do you know how much it weighs? Beautiful job...

Nice! Don't you just hate getting your newly restored project covered with wood chips? Fantastic job.

Nice job on restoring the Dunlap plane. I guess you reinstalled the dowel in the rear handle after the video.

You have to wind the spring before tightening the bolts and also the column lock bolt has to go in before you slide the head on. Nice job though looks beautiful

Excellent restoration. Your videos need better editing.

great job, but no grease

Felicitaciones!!! muy buen trabajo de restauración 🇵🇪

Just what I was looking for! Great job, and thanks for posting.

I just found this same unit at the dump. I've gotten yelled at in the past for "stealing" trash but this was too much.

10:45 Serial # 355?

What a fucking shame that the best part (finished) doesn't get hardly any video time. 😎

😰

Can you explain what liquid are you brushing in the corners and lettering 1:30 into the video and why? Thanks bud.

Is that Citristrip you’re using on the large pieces? If so, do you just use it for paint removal or is it good for other uses like rust removal? Lastly, is the purple liquid you used on the smaller components a degreaser? Sorry for all the questions. As far as making quality restoration videos, you’re f’n crushing it. I finally started the restoration of my 1933 Delta Triple Duty drill press this past weekend and I can’t say thanks enough for the three videos you made restoring yours. They’re the main visual reference aide I’m using so thanks again. Have a good one and lookin forward to more videos.

Beautiful job! But, no lube on reassembly?

So the dunlap plane was made by sargent. The ovel hole that the chip breaker has is one pice of the history the other is part the blade sits on, looks like the sargent no. 409 I just got. The restore job looks great. If you do one more ( yes you will, lol ) try using primer first. It will fill some of the pits. Best of luck.

Just found your video. At the start of the summer I got a older drill press that I am going to restore as soon I get some other projects done. It helped watching you. Wish I could have seen you take it apart I think that will be my biggest concern. It's in good shape but weathered it was kept in a barn. Lots of cleaning. It is also a bench model. Thanks
