In this project my bud Rob and I restored and re-assemble this 1890's Cincinnati Drill Press. I recovered this drill press few years ago in an abandon barn. I had to completely dismantle it to move it, and it has sat outside getting very rusty every since. Nearly all of the rust was removed by Evaporato-Rust for the smaller parts we could soak. The larger parts were cleaned by white wheels and angle grinders! I did need to fabricate few parts in the machine shop, but as you can see this drill press restoration turned out great - Enjoy!
Thank you

Your Evapo-Rust to rusty parts ratio is concerning. Fantastically high gizmosity factor on this one, it's glorious!
I actually smiled when I saw your wrench!
Funkyphreak they mention it at 9:55 !!
I just wanted to say- I noticed one of your wrenches made an appearance in this video. I bought one of the mini ones a couple of years ago, and it’s been a treat. It works great! @HandToolRescue
When it comes to restoration, it's safe to say that Jimmy knows the drill...
I don't get it
Yes, he definitely did his research.
Hehe, real funny.
Love to see old machinery in action. Before WWII my grandfather had a business in Boston repairing and replacing the leather belts used to drive machinery.
By using Evapo Rust, you've attracted various Canadians to your shop.
surprised with all the evaporust and square headed bolts that HTR wasn't there.
@@StevenAndrews He is, lurking in the woods.
@@StevenAndrews His wrenches were there, representing.
@@InstrucTube They weren't listed in the intro credits though, I think those were stand-ins.
Steven Andrews he has been there before, they did a power hammer video together
I'm not sure if it has enough unguarded dangerous spinny bits... 😂😂 Lovely work!
Back in the day this would have been powered by a line shaft system running the length of the factory floor, with belts coming off the shaft running to each machine, either directly or thru some change of direction. I believe the rear facing lower pulleys seen here at 10:38 and 13:35 would be where the power inputs, with my guess being the outer one is freewheeling as they way the machine is idled while still connected to the shaft line. Here's a cool few links, one being a video, of turn of the last century shaft line factories. *How Did Factories Get Power to Their Machines Before Electricity?* www.core77.com/posts/58982/How-Did-Factories-Get-Power-to-Their-Machines-Before-Electricity *Belt-Driven Machine Shop in Railroad Town at Stuhr Museum* kzhead.info/sun/n6apf96Bq3uInKc/bejne.html Pay no mind to the OSHA cringefest
@@tommypetraglia4688 oh, I was joking! Old stuff like this was fine if you used common sense. Having guards and warning labels on even the most trivial of things nowadays is just dumbing down society...
@@lukeybaby45 No they were not fine. Many many people lost body parts or died in these factories.
Titchtheclown you can work around dangerous equipment with the correct training and experience.
The machine was made before safety was invented
What a beast!! Again, Jimmy shows that the "old machines" can still get it done with a bit of TLC. Great job boys!!
That was cleverly done. I've never seen someone with a broken gear just say "screw it, let's use a sleeve" and do away with all the repairs needed on the gear itself. I like it, and it seemed to work fine. Nice job!
not
I'm not sure it was broken. It was and is common to make a gear like that and purposely crack it to get it into a spot where it can't be pressed on. You can buy cracked bearings and gears right now from your favorite machine supplier. Cracking is better than machining because the two halves key together and you don't have to worry about remachining the bore afterwards.
@@gasfiltered Huh. Never seen one before. Thanks for the info.
@@gasfiltered True that.
@@gasfiltered many engine rods are done that way.
Awesome job guys!!!! Every time I watch Jimmy with a piece of Americana power tool, I get the itch!!!! Need a workshop........
Lot of works to restoration, but what a great reward to see it work Im happy for your, thanks Jimmy
Those old drill presses are just the best thing ever
You are spoiling us, Jimmy!
These old machines look cool and sound cool too! More big iron to put to work in the shop. Thanks for sharing!
The elegance of these old machines - beautiful!
Absolutely Priceless Vintage Column Drill Restore
Very cool. Brought this old beast back to life.
I love the name DiRestoration, everywhere I see it I know who did and what's about! Love it, please keep using it!!
It's Alive! It's Alive! Dr. FrankenResta has brought another creature to life!! The only thing missing was the sparks flying off the mechanical parts at the end! Good job......
Great to see so much work in 15 minutes. Can't see any yellow paint!
The Diresta working museum. Awesome as always
Nicely done. I liked the way you saved that gear. I also like that you didn't remove the machine's history by filling the holes in its table. Sweet!
Thanks for rescuing such great old machine. And thanks for the video!
I especially like how you speeded up the grunt work. we don't need it all but speeding it up relieves some of the drudgery. great video, awesome machine!
Thank you for restoring another piece of America!
Your DiRestoration was as Grand as the machine itself...Honors to You and the people who built it! Thanks Jimmy, for the mighty fine video and team effort! Hat Tip!
And she lives again. Wonderful work. Only took 15 minutes 😆
Thanks for saving History once again Mr. Diresta. Wonderful!
Great idea to sleeve the broken gear!!
Nice work. Particularly impressed with the repair to the split gear wheel, that's very clever. It is surprising how often these older designs have some handy feature that makes them competitive with even the most modern machines and sometimes even able to do jobs that a modern machine simply can't do.
This is a piece of art... I always love restoration videos from this channel
Wow...thanks! That was the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time. And made my Sunday morning much more enjoyable. Cheers to everyone!
This is theee best restoration video !!!!! INCREDIBLE ART !! the engineering and materials used to manufacture this piece of art is INSAIN !!!! No one could touch american engineering / machining / metal making back in the day . So cool to see machining being used to make parts !!! its a lost ART !!!!! IM IN AWE !!!!!! TAHNKS JIMMY !!!!! YOU BLESSED TO HAVE HARD WORKING HELPFUL FRIENDS !!!!
You have made a MONSTER MACHINE ! Very Very nice job !! Congrats !!
The gizmosity is intense! That thing mechanical art.
That is so pretty.... we don't make machines with any style anymore. Great Save sir.
I love the sound those old machines make. The clatter is music. Beautiful job!
Great job!. It reminds me of the machines we used with my classmates in my high school when I was a teenager. Now I'm in college, 22 years old.
Damn, this is so cool unit, industrial age was something... :) Thanks for history lessons
MAN I love old Iron! They just don't make it like that anymore! Thanks for bringing new life to that old beast! You're going to enjoy it for years to come!
What a beautiful machine. Not an easy or quick restoration, but now it's good to go another 100 years!
Just beautiful watchin her work again! Great job!
Your videos are my favorite thing on KZhead. Keep it up.
I can't stop watching these types of videos. It is so interesting. Thanks for sharing, Jimmy! Felix
*Jimmy’s episode with Brad making the grill was absolutely beautiful. It’s not even about the grill. The chemistry is everything!*
Another amazing piece of machine history rebuilt and put to use by Diresta awesome work
Cool restoration. Nice save in making a sleeve for that broken gear.
My wife is Dutch. There is a saying in Dutch that when you find a solution to a problem you have put a sleeve on it. Originally the saying comes from the middle ages, when clothing was different from what it is today. Shirts had detachable sleeves that you could tie onto a vest section, so that when you had an accident and soiled or ruined a sleeve, you could just go to the sleeve basket and find another sleeve to tie onto your shirt. They have shirts like ours now, but kept the saying, and everyone knows what it means. It fits here, too.
Love the Jurassic Park quote! On point! Great job Jimmy and friends! The dino lives!
Beautiful, you should put it in a museum
IT LIVES !!!! Epic work lads .....Superb resto
Hard engineering 👌 Every body can't do it like you Jimmy
A beautiful giant drill press. Enough spinning bits and gears to watch for hours. Good work on the resto, looking forward to seeing it action on some build to come.
Great job bringing life back to that beautiful machine.
What a beauty! IT'S ALIVE!
Fantastic piece of engineering! Nice work Jimmy & Co
Thanks for showing us this huge pile of J.U.'n'K.! (Joy, Utilities and Knowledge) Great job bringing these old machines back to life. Regards, Etna.
Watched this again and got a better understanding of the time and effort and how this particular press operates. Once again...GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!
it's silly, I have a bigger Rocklands drill went over it painted it in 5 days working it it's an oily grease mess, he didn't oil all the total OIL LOSE cups.
Classic beast of a machine, nice work fells.
What a fantastic old machine. Looks amazing. Well done.
Awesome. That would look really sweet with some of that old school gold pinstriping.
Your most beautiful restore to date!
You are still amazing, Jimmy.. Words can't describe it.. Great job, Jimmy!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I like that you don't use music in your videos, I enjoy listening to the working sounds albeit sped up. I can hear generic music whenever I want. Nice work.
Historical Machine Tool Art... that works!
Hey pal that thing is amazing, thanks for sharing. you da bestda.
The beast lives once more. Great job Jimmy it’s a work of industrial art.
Very nice. That trick with the broken gear was slick.
Wonderful. What a beautiful bit of kit.
Beautiful piece of machinery and an awesome job bringing it back to life. thoroughly enjoyable journey,
Does my heart good to see the old equipment rebuilt and in place where it will be used and taken care of . You and your guys should get some kind of award for saving another life . Happy trails
What a beast that thing is! I didn't realize the scale of it from the IG pictures. Excellent job, all!
Hay nice job jimmy and mates 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤪🤪sweet
respect to whoever designed that stunning drill
you are an archaeologist of machines. Seems like one of the heaviest jobs you did. fantastic work Mr. Jimmy
Excellent work, congratulations
Ahh, AWESOME! Seeing that old drill press run is mesmerizing.
Wow Jimmy what a beautiful machine and they will never be built like that no more it's really good that you have gave it's life back amazing really enjoyed this video amazing as usual
very cool! as a professional transmission rebuilder "retired" I enjoyed this video,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Anyone else watch these at half speed just to savor them. The running machine at 13:50 is literally music.
Solid tool for tough modern time
Absolutely amazing video. And what a beautiful machine. I couldn't even do a restore on my wife's folding-ironing table, but because of you as an inspiration, at least I tried.
YOU AND THE GUYS ARE A COMPLETE BUNCH OF OF INSPIRATION TOO US ALL ,GREAT, SKILLS MUCH NEEDED IN THIS WORLD.
Wow... What a monstrous tool! 😮 Fantastic job, Jimmy!!!
Just love these old machines. Looks fantastic.
Such a gorgeous machine, it was a delight to see it treated with such love.
What a Whopper of a drill press, great save Jimmy!
I'd hope that A) No one from OSHA sees that operational and B) your insurance agent isn't watching your channel. Can you say workers comp claim?! lol! :) Beautiful work Jimmy! Good on you guys to save these beautiful pieces of engineering for the next generation to appreciate. Love this channel!
One of the best restorations I've seen in a while, love seeing the old tools in good working order, thanks for sharing!!!
Man, that's a piece of art.
WOW! Love watching you do this. Back in the day when things where built to last, buy it once and last forever. What a beautiful thing
Beautiful job on a gorgeous old machine! Great to see it brought back to life.
What a nice old machine ... Good Job Guys 💪🏽👍🏽
beautiful machine and these belt hooks are awesome. Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Seen and learned a lot from you. For me, this is epic. I am an old equipment freak. I love to rebuild and use it. You have a wonderful piece of history! The complication, design, quality, noise, and the danger of it!Imagine using that drill 10 hours a day! Thanks! Great job!
That's the coolest drill I've ever seen!
just saw this and that is some SICK work on that drill press from hell !!! GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!
Just wonderful to see it operational again. Well worth to time and effort to bring'er back. Great job and a pleasure to view. Thanks Jimmy.
Fitting last words...In the name of love!
Thanks for the video Jimmy. Love that you are bringing old machines back to life.
The engineering is impressive and like art. It was made to last forever, unlike the throwaway stuff nowadays. Very few take that kind of pride in their work. Glad to see another person preserving history.
I'd love to spend a day in your shop... Great job guys. Rodney Manchester England
Team effort, but mostly Rob from @RojasCarpentry did the dirty stuff, thanks Rob! Liked the PiP flashback!
