- Finishing up my 1942 14" Delta Drill Press Restoration. In this video, I replace the spindle bearings, clean up all the little bits, braze some cast iron, and find some surprises along the way.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
14:00 Your live center is very lively!
13:00 - Hurah, Jeremy's rusty scrap.
13:45 - "CENTER"... a relative term :)
Great video as always. Thanks.
I've never seen a center move that much! I wonder if vibration in the machine was making it look a lot worse? Tends to mess with the camera.
Turns out, the rusty junk doesn’t like to stay in place well in the three jaw chuck, but concentricity wasn’t real important on this one.
Love the steady rest you borrowed from Neptune's shop 🙂
Cheers
Oh wow, that tailstock ! 😬
I did, I really did. I love it when an old broken-down piece gets a second chance.
Great project! I really like how you re-purpose materials and I hope that 6.17k subscribers soon becomes 617k! You are fast becoming one of my favorite machinists channels.
Well done man.
I love your recycling of old machinery and rough raw stock!
Definitely stealing the "far from perfect, perfect from far" line, that describes pretty much everything I do haha
Really nice video and really nice work.
And indeed, repainting these tags is a challenge. (witch I screw up every time)
Lovely result Jeremy. I still can't believe you got that for free from the side of the road - that just doesn't happen around here. Great find and great job bringing it back to life. 👍
It happens everywhere, but not often... I remember seeing a `yuge blacksmith`s hammer once, left on the street in front of a house, i was a kid back then, but the people were carrying it out and left it there until gypsies took it a few months later... It had to have had at least 3 tonnes... I`ve seen stuff tossed out everywhere, you just have to be at the right place in the right time to find a thing being carried out to be left for scrap... Not saying that its a commonplace occurrence, but old shops close down, old people pass away and morons inherit marvelous machines that are worth more than their pathetic lives and all the generations they will spawn could ever amount to... But they toss it out as junk to be smashed and melted into brake rotors, as they are scum sucking slime that knows not what true marvels of mankind are and what tools practically built the world they live in today... Its a sad thing, but it is what it is since the time of Cain and Abel... Nihil novi sub sole...
@@camillosteuss We live on a small island state, with a low population. We have never had any machining or mechanical industry to speak of either. Lastly, everyone here seems to know the value of "things", which means not much gets thrown out! I am not complaining though, it is nice not to be surrounded by wasteful people. 🙂
I'm really liking your content, glad rotarySMP gave you a shout out in his video. Keep it up bud...
Excellent job!!!
Much, much better than Perfect from Far……. Thanks for the ride. 👍👍😎👍👍
Lovely drill press
loctite 638 is for upto 0.25mm slop. So thats also a way to go if you get spindle inserted in there to keep thebearing centered.
Stephan Gottswinter, another RUclips creater, was up against the same thing with a drill press with the tapered nose, of the quill spindle, gauld up. A reasonable amount of galling I understand is okay🙂 If it was mine, it would be just perfect…it’ll still work fine. And for me, you overcame some serious challenges there. Good job👍🙂 And thanks for the ideas for making homemade tools to fix stuff😉 I appreciate that😁
Thanks Jeremy for a cool video with some teaching in it.
Respect for trying to save the cracked clamp ring by brazing. Keeping it original etc. 👍
A lot of the time that doesnt work long term on something like a clamp ring, the reason they break there is because the forces are huge.
Wow, I was white knuckling the whole time you were machining that bearing out! You have more guts than I!
I do like your steady man. It is a steady piece of an art. Will find where is the video about it. :-) Cool videos.
I love these old drill presses. Thanks for saving this one!
Soft focus for the win. Thanks for sharing
That is one lovely piece of equipment. I wish it had annular contact bearings in the spindle.
I rebuilt a DP-220 (floor model) several years ago so this brought back memories. I bought the same bearings from Hammersmith. It's been a nice machine but it has a bit more runout than I'd like (not bad for woodworking). You've inspired me to finally take it apart again and figure out if the problem is the chuck or the spindle. I love these old machines for appearance alone, they just look nice.
great job on the delta drill press and im going to definatly subscribe. thumbs up.
Great job, sir!!!
nicely done
In a situation like that I have used JB Weld with some saw fillings mixed with it then machine it size.
Nice addition to your shop. Enjoyable series.
Great work madman. Kicking off my own 40's Delta resto soon. Dying to get going. Thanks,.. real nice.
Absolutely Feckin Awesome
Looks great!!
Hi Jeremy I turned down the wreck end to take a impact drill. It worked great
The exception to the endmill rule is - I opine - using them to flatten the bottom of a hole.
Nicely done - having the mill style table on a drill press can be very handy for when you want hole patterns that are in straight lines and if the dials are still good, makes spacing them easy as well! Does eat into the Z height substantially though.
Fun to watch as always !
Thank you 🙏
Looks great to me, great video man,keep'um coming.
If you hammer brazed or Silver soldered joints, then anneal it, less chance of cracking.
That was really fun to watch! Great restoration job! :)
Tips
They make special epoxies for fixing up minor oopsies in bearing seating surfaces.
For a more permanent and professional fix there is a brazing material used to resurface automotive exhaust and or intake valves. This stuff can be applied with oxyacetylene gear and ground to a suitable finish for Morse tapers and such.
Just don’t ask me the name of the stuff I forgot it five seconds after I heard it.
"Time to go surgical". Another good one
wow thats awesome you are great in what you do!! I am in the process in doing a 1950 table saw so far so good we stripped it down to bear metal and re-painted every thing new 3hp motor new bearings and now we are working on the electrical switch and new cords this will last another 70 years! do you do machining on the side?
Very nice. Will the taper on the mill be next???
Amazing !
Still nicer and much more accurate than my early 2000's China-made Delta.
You live centre was going up and down like a fiddle players elbow!!!

Very nice work. It's too bad you can't find an original table.
Nice video! IMHO, the main reason drill presses are very poor milling machines is a lack of stiffness in the horizontal plane. Even if you were to upgrade the spindle bearings, it would chatter horribly and dellect a lot.
OK, now you have a pretty drill press, get to work on that lathe!
Amazing. Amazing video. I'm curious if you removed the chuck off the taper to put the stop lock collar on. For a few dropped the whole spindle? Which is the trick I just learned a few weeks ago.
I think I took the chuck off again.
WELL DONE, REGARDS R.
Just found your videos. I enjoyed it very much as I have also done 2 drill presses myself. But my question is - what on earth happened to your steady rest. Keep up the great work.
Enjoy!

Ah-ha now I get it, and totally approve if that matters at all. It came out really good.
I inherited an old Rockwell drill press that looks a lot like yours. Where did you find the parts diagram? Thanks
How do you tell what year it is, I have one that looks identical? What is their value ? Great job
Nice restoration. May i ask where you got the "screw rivets" for the Delta badge? Thank
McMaster Carr, they call them “screw nails”. These were “size 2”
After you drill into that piece of sacrificial wood, make sure you sterilise the drill bit. 😁
Hot spit shine has done great job. lol
fuck that was funny 🤣🤣🤣 im sitting here trying to sort out business things and just sorta half listening watching 11:00
Hello, I have similar unit I need parts for it can you tell me where I can get parts
You must be working with TOT and Chris.
Why didn't you create a new pair of slots for a square sided tool to tighten? You didn't have to create a new threaded bush, just new slots to make it easier to tighten (and loosen next time).
👍
The correct word for spitting is Achtung 😂
Lmao @ the caveman style steady rest, I love it
“Far from perfect, perfect from far..”
Going to replace “looks good from a galloping horse”
The guy I used to work with would always say "A blind man would be pleased to see it!" - I don't know if that's an acceptable thing to say nowadays, but it did always paint a picture for me and cause a fair amount of giggling. :)

hi there, i cannt see part 2 1942
ruclips.net/video/OccenHvRYZs/видео.html
I can tell you're married or have a gf, all that opening pickle jars really came in handy getting that ring out 🤣
Great,I have dads 220,
Far from good, but good from afar
hes a serial repurpiser .. not clickspring .. but very very watchable ..
OMG, you made a mistake. I think you have given away your time warping secret. Everything set in the 40's until the shot of that carbide tooling. SO, I have a technical question. Which way did you warp,, seriously. Did you take the carbide back, or send the parts forward. I suggest you recut this video so that no further secrets are divulged in your work. And for GOD's sake if your see plain white vans parked across the street. GO back and never come back to the future. JUST SAYIN"
Nice work! Enjoyed watching. Have a suggestion for you. If you haven't read David Pye's "The Nature and Art of Workmanship" please do. You will find the concepts interesting. Thanks for the look and your skills.
