These classic vintage
plans are for a homemade drill presses made from auto parts.
Driven by means of a 1/4
hp electric motor, this homemade drill press, built mostly
from old auto parts and a few items obtainable from your
local hardware store, is sturdy, accurate, and smooth in
operation. Easy to build with scrap parts lying around
if you can improvise a little.
How is this possible? A
cut-off portion of a axle housing is mounted to a brake
drum, which, in turn, is bolted to the bench top. The
spindle bearing is a small grinder head and is clamped to
the housing by means of two lengths of angle iron and a
connecting-rod bearing cap.
