Atlas drill press restore

[toolsinbox]

This drill press started out as a bench model and one of my employees had a 50s atlas press rotting in a corner so he gave it to me and it drove me nuts looking at the horrid orange color so I did the rebuild and used the floor column and base. Toughest thing was to get that base off. had to use a gear box flange I had laying around to get it done. The bench top base had a brand new set of quill bearings, in the box, taped to the underside of the base. I bought new sealed motor bearing and re-did the whole works and it is a sweet unit and dead accurate. I will get a pic of it with the new rear pulley installed. I have the slow speed attachment that needs to be re built so that is a near future project. The only thing I did not rebuild on that press is the drill chuck. I will look at that at some point as well.
I am glad you enjoyed and thanks for the compliments.
