Restoring a 1940s Craftsman Drill Press – Part 4


With the table and base machined and all the parts painted, I can start assembling of the head frame. I ran into a small issue with the replacement bearings but was able to resolve it.

Fingertip Amperage Controller (Product Review)


I was sent a torch mounted amperage control unit for my PrimeWeld TIG225 from Hotlights Welding to review. I usually use my foot pedal when TIG welding, and occasionally use a torch mounted button when I need to tack something in a strange position for those situations using the pedal is difficult or inconvenient. In this video, I give this gadget a test run and share my opinion of it.

Restoring a 1940s Craftsman Drill Press – Part 3


Now that the table has been machined flat, I want to do the same thing to the base. I started off using a 2″, 3 flute, carbide insert face mill. It’s the biggest one I have. I RAN INTO MORE PROBLEMS. But managed to find a solution, I hope.
