I use a Scotch-Brite pad with some wd40 on an inexpensive sheet sander to get rid of the rust
Sheet sander: amzn.to/2Q0960J
Scotch-Brite: amzn.to/3aGxo7L
wd40: amzn.to/38xy6Tf - Jak na to + styl
This press has worked like a charm for my projects czcams.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!!
at 09:01 I thought: "He should be using a drill press for this. How come he doesn't have one yet." Then I realized what I am watching.
That mill is just a drill press on steroids. There’s nothing a drill press can do that the mill can’t.
@@mfumich fit through the door :p
@@Sammus43 the mill is already in the room.
@@mfumich it’s a joke that before he got it in the room it wouldn’t fit
my woodworking class had one of these in sweden in the 90's!
"This top isn't flat"
*stares at Bridgeport mill in background*
"So I'm go put wood on it"
*head explodes*
He is an adult student. What do you expect?
it is more complicated then that.
@@BKdefr Uhh, I'd like to hear how, lol. Ultimately the flatness of that surface doesn't matter, but that bridgeport can 100% fix the problem he had.
Agree. Mill it flat🤦
@Erick Cohen wow don't give a shit
Proud owner myself mine is older tough. High quality, will last for generations. Greetings from Sweden
When my daughter was in grammar school
They were having a science fair
My daughter asked me to help her with a project so we looked together and came up with a project that shows how people move their arms and hands to help tell a story
And if forced to keep their arms and hands at their sides how they are unable to remember details of a story they are trying to tell people
Yes, we need more "Hammerlak" on youtube :D you can't trust a piece of machinery if it's not painted with "Hammerlak".
I had the same drillpress on school where i Learned welding And work With metal!! This kind of drillpress machines are the best ever Made! Quality.
How fantastic to give this beautiful old machine a new life! Well done!
That paint looks awesome! Great job mixing those together!
Great video! I love that you brought this Arboga drill back to life. I have one myself. Maybe the best drill press ever made 😀
Awesome video, very nice to see that these things are getting restored!
This is an EXCELLENT video man. Instant sub. The drill press turned out so nice!
Nice machine, I think the best drill press the world has created and nice restoration.
Excellent workmanship and attention to details. Videography is very nice, too.
Outstanding work, thank for sharing
Great job!! Beautiful drill press.
That was an awesome restauration 👍🏼 Greetings from Sweden.
Great restoration and super drill press!!!!
Fantastic job my friend! Enjoyed this video a lot.
Thank you :))
can't believe the work you've done, it's new
Fantastic job man, keep doing the good work, hugh fan.
Hi from Sweden. Yeah, it´s really a great machine. I´m superhappy with mine. It is made 7:th of march 1977 and in great shape.
MAN! You're LUCKY! You have a TON of really nice space.
dude your videos are super fun, please keep it up! Thanks for the content :p
Thank you so much! :)
Peep the fronius just chillin in the background, badass! Nice videos man, like the content, rock on.
Filming level PRO... Great job man cheers.
Really nice restoration! If you didn't know - you're missing two parts in the handle, a spring and a small pin that holds the handle in place so that it doesn't fall down, a really nice feature when it's installed! That's what the hole is for on the end of the holder!
this is starting to become my favorite youtube channel
You might want to check that no tapping chips got inside the machine when you threaded those holes. Or you will be replacing bearings.
I thought I was the only one worried.... Not really how I rebuild machines that's for sure!
Same here, I was shaking my head when I saw him doing that
Double Dare Fan same here. That’s going to end badly.
Went down into the comments straight after watching to point this out. There were a lot of oil inlets aswell, some chips are bound to have gotten in somewhere.
Greasing your tap helps a bit when chip are an issue, but yeah should have taken some care when tapping those holes
very nice work you have done there, repairing a machine that would otherwise be of no use anymore, thanks I learn lots of things from this video
Always like a good restoration.
I watch your videos and I love them but they make green with envy though! More power to you and thanks for creating these videos.
Nice job,that's a lovely drill
Awesome work
Great video. I am enjoying your channel. Thank you
It is a very nice drill press with high quality, probably one of the later ones. The older ones were a little rounder. It will benefit you all your life and allow the children to inherit.
Folding the sandpaper back on itself in the lathe is a good way to get your hand pulled in with mayor damage as the result. With the speed of the lathe it is better to have the sandpaper go back and forth while slightly angled.
...and also ALWAYS protect the lathe ways when using abrasives.
If it were me I'd put an "Emergency Stop" switch at the top right side where the other electrical box was.
Or a foot-pedal flipped down from the MDF board.
The biggest "problem" is that that motor wont stop directly when power is cut, it will continue to spin.
@@rikardb But it will lose power. works perfekt. we have emrgency stop in headhight so you can hit it with your forehead. ex if you get cout in the shirt.
I have a similar driller, badged as an Ajax And there is a reverse polarity switch on it which stops the spindel very quickly this is linked into a telescopic limit switch , but to fit this on the dill would cost a lot of cash .My drill press cost £1600
Really cool! Also another very cool way of havibg smooth lines or even not havibg them is by gasifying some acetone…depending on the material you extrude though..
Had my doubts at the beginning but that restore looks great
wow, you are a PRO as Always, congratulations Alexandre :D
Thanks John! Really appreciate it ✌️
I have the big brother to that machine. Great quality and top notch design.
3:16 Here we see an example of the infamous "Safety Squint".
It's not a perfect "Safety Squint", but better than no squint at all.
Alexandre, Is there anything that you can't do?
The range and the scope of the projects that you tackle are quite remarkable and they cover many engineering, industrial, and construction fields. Your shows are quite informative and fun to watch. Also, where do you get all that energy? Good luck my friend. Peace.
Awesome!!
I like your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you :)
i got the exact one in my garage ;) Solid machine
OK that *is* super cool.
Long live 3D printing... Yeah...! Well done..!
damn. impressive color match with the paint.
Wonderful
Yo I really like how you made a table out of scratch and with no previous design. I wanted to tell you the reason your metal plate was warped was nkr because you didn’t clamp it. It’s because you welded in ine big straight line and the heat warped it next time alter side you weld and make sure not to weld the same area for to long
Snyggt jobbat :)
great job looks great
It boggles my mind that you don't have more subscribers... You earn them... Quality video!
Nice jobe, great machine, I have just that model and I love it.....well I have also an second Arboga with a cross table (just could not resist when I found it used ;-) )....I absolutely love them both :-)!!!
Nice video, I have an Arboga milling drill, those machines are made to last.
nice work!
Nice project
Nice video! On these arborga drill presses there is a spring with a steel ball on the inside of the shaft so the doesnt slide by itself. You will see a small hole where it is supposed to be.
nice. my dad has one of these, i learned how to use it at the age of 10 or so :)
That is cool!
Good job bro
I remember these! that gearbox! oh how i miss it.. 35 years ago and the machine probably had a few years of service then in the shop class.. Everytime today when i think: Maby I need to change speed on my dp... (find the right socket, hold back the motor, undo the belt without damage, move it ba... nah.. it will be fine..
If a tool takes longer to set up than actually work with it; its not a very good tool.
Hi. I have exact same model Arboga G2508. Its great machine! 2-speed electric motor is wounded in dahalander connection, u need special switch to operate it.
Do you know what kind of switch and hpw to wire it?
I got almost the same model - switch is in different place. Great machine. I got it for just 200 USD mare complete and ready for work. On auction I see some of them go for over 600 USD. Same model as ours.
Wowww very beautiful
great, now you have metal shavings in all the bottoms of the fill ports ready to grate in to the rotating surfaces they're supposed to oil!
4:55 Smooth flip :)
13:54 It reminds me Donald Duck in "Clock Cleaners"!! 😅
Beautiful drill press and terrific restoration!
I think the part I was most impressed with was your colour matching skills, very well done with that I would have been there for a month. Another wonderful old machine saved and probably looking better than it has done in half a century.
I mentioned on your Bridgeport Milling Machine video that I’m totally ignorant when it comes to engineering, and when you drilled and rethreaded the oil ports you got me a bit confused sorry. Will this not do any harm having the metal chips in the oil? Or will any of the chemical in the paint not impact on the viscosity of the oil? I’m probably wrong on both points but please can someone explain why I am wrong so I can learn?
It looked absolutely brilliant when you finished and I'm sure it’s good for another 60 years. I love your enthusiasm for your work, you have the passion that’s important for all creatives. Subscribed.
Arboga is one of the best. Its from the quality age!
Kristian Jonsson absolutely! The Sweds made some great machines :)
Great job young man out in my shop ive got 8 machines waiting for restore to use or complete restoration. When and if i can get my pain under control they will be getting done. I hope thanks for the great videos
Gary Wills thanks! And good luck with your machines! :)
You did a really good job mixing the color! I believe the color you were looking for is called "hammerschlagblau" (literally "hammer blow blue") in german. If you google it it looks pretty similar to the color of your drill press. It's a common machine color I believe :)
BOSE... please sponsor this man, jaja
Hi bro 👋👋👋 good project 👍 good job 👍 good restoration 👍
Кошмар Кошмар hey dude! Thanks ✌️
You should be able to download an app onto your phone that will analyze the color of something and give you the paint code for it. Since you've already come up with the paint through a different method, testing multiple apps would give you the chance to compare and contrast accuracy of paint codes from different apps. Good job, keep up the great work! Subscribed.
Great video, I was just a little surprised you never pulled the quill & spindle to clean, regrease, and check bearings. Do you have a dial indicator, I really like to see how these things test out with regard to runout after a restoration. A lot of times these old machines run more true than anything new. Thanks.
whoa that machine became rusty real quick 4:56
here in sweden arboga machines are the rolls royce among drill presses, you would easy get 1000 us dollars for it in that condition, maybe even 1500
"I make a new one"
You can thread MDF directly you know...On a 3 cm thick MDF and 6 big screws threaded it will be rock solid. And you've left the center portion of the MDF unsupported...EXACTLY where the pressure is applied!
19:52 - That doesn't screw in, you will need to extend it with a tube.... Oh there goes! 😀👍
Ali Salih haha, jeah... Didn't plan to, but no way back once the hole was threaded :P
We have one of those on the slöjd
Where's your PPE when you're sanding!!? Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your work!
these Argoba Maskinen are wonderful machine that worth finding a cast iron table and adapt it to find the true potential of this drill.
I have an old Arboga radial arm. They are a stout drill, built to last :)
Arboga Sweden i live there! its a great macine!
Hey Alex, what camera and settings you use for those speed up shots? Looks amazing
Хорошая работа 👍
They are great, but even more expensive than an old milling machine.. Especially with a coordinate table. But I need one!
Great job. I have the exact same arboga maskiner geared head drill press. Mine is complete with the table if you need any details. It has two forward (electronic) speeds plus the gearbox. They don’t reverse.
know this is a few yrs old, but looks friggin sweet!
You should get your mill of the pallet so it doesnt wobble when u crank the handles and tranfers the vibrations down into the earth :)
I wish I had your tools :D.
Nice, well done!
Can you share the STL for the quill handle?
aww you have a massive great bridgeport right there... you could have levelled the metal plate! (not meant as criticism, love your videos!)
hi, great video! Where did you get that spring?
65 grams of silver, 25 grams of green and 11 grams of blue. I just got another drill press, now I have same model G2508 as on this video. Getting 3 cans would cost more then I paid for the drill press (!)
I love all these old tools. Unfortunatly in France most of them run on 380V which is difficult / expensive to have at home...
If they dont need the full power of 3 phase you can probably get a somewhat affordable variable frequency drive to run them off
@@legallyfree2955 you are right. I saw a few new devices that could run such tools in 220V but with a lower power.
