NeedItMakeIt | I Bought This Drill Press and Now I Regret It - PT2 - Risky Fix for the Table @NeedItMakeIt | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
In the last video I was a little disappointed with the purchase I had made in this old drill press. For the most part the press was in good shape with minimal wear and the vibration problems have been handled so we could move on, but the base, and the table had been drilled into. The table was especially bad and I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to fix it. On one hand I could just patch it with JB weld and paint the surface, but that isn't quite the look or quality I wanted. I'd like to show the surface of the metal and not have the worry about wearing down paint. the other option is the weld... that is quite a bit of work and it is risky on something with so many holes in it and minimal experience in welding cast iron.

In this video I think I've made the right choice, the results should speak for themselves.
I hope you enjoy this video, I try to show as much of the process and difficult I have for the best enjoyment. Lots of room for improvement so I look forward to your feedback.
The full restoration is nearly complete, I am working on the PT3 video at the moment.
For anyone looking for 3D printing videos, I am working on them, so please bare with me. I have some video coming which integrate both the 3D printing and tools very nicely.
