  • Adam upgrades his shop's powermatic drill press with a crank to raise and lower the table, but the crank he has isn't made for his particular model drill press. The restoration and install of the crank goes by fast and works out well, but it ends in the unexpected breaking of another part. Adam's plan for an upgrade quickly pivot to a disassembly and repair!

    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!!

    I purchased a Pacific Freight Salvage drill press about 50 years ago. I had the same problem with the spindle falling off. I used valve grinding compound to make the mating surfaces of the chuck and spindle mate perfectly, which took a couple of hours to complete. I cleaned the surfaces well and used a block of wood and a heavy hammer to set them together and they have remained mated to this day. The chuck opens to accommodate a 5/8th inch diameter bit and closes down to accommodate a 1/16th inch diameter bit. Visually there is no run out or eccentricity that I can discern. I suppose that I could put an indicator on it but I don't do precision machining with this drill press. Great video Adam thumbs up.

    I don't have a keyless chuck. I was forever looking for the damn key. I would put it down and it would literally dissapear in the shop during work. That is until... DAT Da Da DAH! I fitted a retractable key chain (the kind that clips to your belt) onto the side of my drill press. What a save! Now it's always in reach, it retracts out the way when not in use and, obviously it never goes missing. Best modification I ever did to my drill press.

  • @HooverM75
    @HooverM75 Před 4 lety

    One thing you could do is some additive welding on the old quill and then redo the taper on the lathe. Then possibly take your keyless chuck and shave out the damage on the inside. You could then do the additive to a larger size to fit the amount you take off the inside of the keyless chuck. Then, weld a nut on the top of the keyless chuck to screw onto the threads, or even weld on a piece of metal and cut in your own threads.
    So you technically have a working Keyed chuck, since all this could take a few days possibly or "One Day ;) ". I do love how you treat every tool, no matter how small and one use it is, as the best tool ever. Thank you for all the inspiration every video.

    The post on your drill press is called the column. The wiggler is called a coaxial indicator. That's a dog point set screw. Your extermal JT33 taper is trashed, however you can purchase a JT33 reamer which will restore (95%) the internal taper. After a serious cleaning of both parts, we used to rub blackboard chalk onto the surfaces and give it a good 'slam' home. Never had one fall off when installed properly. Thanks for the video Adam.

Three or four wrenches and Allen keys, and that's about all the tools needed to work with it. With the added bonus that it is good heavy ( H E A V Y) cast iron, and I can tram it in to dead level, plumb, and square. AND IT STAYS THERE.

Turns it more into a screwdriver, way easier to use than that smal fiddly key. I did it by cutting a slot in the end of a piece of wood, and pressfitting that over te key, no need to even modify the key itself. And thanks for all the lovely content btw!

    One of my favorite tools is my Franken Drill Press, didn't have the money to afford a Drill Press, so I pieced together one making it my own special creation, I still tinker with the design, even adding a x and y swivel vise to it Monday, and yes once I built it I did geek out saying Frankenstein's classic It's alive. One of my best tool builds so far. Although I be building a Franken Lathe soon.

    I have an old Jet 13R Drill press that has similar threads above the taper and they are for a nut that’s only purpose is for removing the chuck. It’s tightened up against the spindle for normal operation and spun the other way to push the chuck off when needed. I imagine the threads have the same purpose on that one. The taper when clean and true should be all that’s needed to lock the chuck on. I scanned some of the comments and didn’t notice anyone mention anything about the threads so I thought I’d let you know. I enjoy your videos. Thank you. Ron

    I absolutely love these shop infrastructure videos! For me there's something really gratifying about performing critical maintenance or repairs. When I eventually get my own shop, I want to get a lot of second hand tools and take the time to repair and restore them before putting them back to work. As Adam's said before, There's nothing like taking something apart and putting it back together to really get an intimate understanding of how it functions. Also, I love how in the slate, you can see the reflection of Adam's phone. I'm honestly surprised they haven't set him up with a few cameras to set up in a few key locations in the shop. I'm sure they have their reasons, and this definitely allows for a more "shoot and go" style, but maybe having a birds eye for time lapses, and one or two "Key Tool cameras." like one by the Lathe/Table Saw and one for the Sanders/Drill press. This was recorded 2 months ago, so who knows, maybe they have by now.

  • @peregrinefalcon78
    @peregrinefalcon78 Před 4 lety +1

    Hey Adam and team, I can only suggest sticking with they keyed chuck! It's not very common outside of using a tap in there, but with a keyless chuck, you can get taps and bits stuck, or they can sometimes even come out. Using a keyed chuck can allow you to consistently release whatever shank is in the chuck. And if you are afraid of losing the key, you can buy/fabricate a holder for the chuck key. It's hard to lose something with it's own mount.
