History

Column drill press with a belt drive, an adjustable table and a massive cast-iron base with two T-slots. Weight 72 kg (according to the owner). Original green paint, with a blue plate on the body.

Dating. Presumably the 1970s, based on an earlier attribution; unconfirmed. Earlier conflicting identifications of maker, country and year are not adopted here.

Parts and their origin

Base
Massive cast-iron base with two T-slots; the factory finish of the top surface and the surrounding paint are preserved. Machine weight 72 kg.
Motor
Repair: terminals restored, new wires and soldering, protective red braid, rubber grommet at the entry preserved. Wiring and lighting fully restored.
Pulley
After a fall, a small fragment broke off at the smallest groove. According to the owner: epoxy bonding with light clamping, excess glue removed, local finishing with a needle file and abrasive. Restoration is complete.
Chuck
A chuck with minimal runout is fitted (according to the owner); the model and the runout value are not specified.
Other
Owner’s additions: an industrial vise on the lower table (the base platform); a 3D-printed dust port compatible with Kärcher; a black stand of his own making that does not vibrate in operation (according to the owner).

Restoration

The original paint, the blue plate, the casting texture and the machining marks are preserved. The column was cleaned to an even satin surface. Rust and dirt were removed from the base, the edges of the T-slots were dressed with a file, and the bare metal was protected with ISO 68 oil. A thin oil film is renewed periodically.

Work history

  2. Restoration fully completed; the machine is in service.
  3. The machine is in daily use: precise 8 mm holes for oak dowels in a kitchen shelf and round recesses for coasters.
