Came across a drill press today that a guy was selling for $50.00, so not that I needed it but I couldn't resist the price and bought it. Now home and in the garage (see pictures below). It had been sitting and has rust all over in different places - most things frozen up on it but its all there....
Near as i can tell it is a Chicago Industrial Tool Company drill press - 3/4hp, 110v, not sure of chuck size at the moment, 15 speed, handle to change speed on pullys.
Now the restoration part begins.....Im looking for advice on cleaning it up and making it the moving parts move again. It runs fine and there is no wobble in it.
Thinking a good wipe down with acetone to start.....WD-40 and greese to get the table crank working well again.......Thoughts?
Ill post another thread with this one showing a metal attachment of some sort that the guy says belongs with it but he had no idea what it was used for.
