Model 10ER (S/N R51721) Dedicated Drill Press
Just finished reassembly of this guy today - converting to dedicated drill press. Had to replace a few parts along the way, clean up some motor wiring, and update the power cord. The speed changer got a thorough cleanup and new paint and belts, and it works like a charm!
Mounted it on a custom cabinet from scrap in the garage - even repurposed a 10ER knob for a door handle!

Polished up nicely!

This was the state of it when I picked it up.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Well Done!!!!
Hope it is not top heavy!
Next project making some sacrificial wooden inserts for the table.
Silver paint on the belt cover and speed reducer?

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Nice base cabinet for being scrap wood and I like the knob. The Model 10 itself looks great. Even though I am a bit of a traditionist when it comes to paint color the silver on the Belt Cover and Speed Changer are a nice contrast. I have considered making a dedicated Model 10 Drill Press and this may be the inspiration I needed. Model 10ER S/N 101291 is sitting in the shop awaiting restoration. With the time it has been taking to sell my restorations lately this may be a good one to keep as a Drill Press. Of course, I will keep the parts not used for a dedicated Drill Press so it can be returned to regular use in the future.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
BTW, tis a good idea to move the speed changer crank to the outboard side of the speed changer brackets. Increases the space available for the hand to clear the headstock lock.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Thanks so much! I find myself enjoying the restoration process as much as the woodworking at this point.
It’s actually hammered silver on the belt cover and speed changer. I was looking for a bit of contrast to the original charcoal grey on the rest of the machine - not to mention the fact it’s what I had on hand!

Re: Gallery of Restorations
I appreciate the compliments, Russ! This was definitely one of those “I really don’t need another one of these” projects - so I figured I’d have some fun with it. I decided to only paint the two aluminum items that had really lost their coloring (old Magna aluminum castings never seem to retain their paint…), so thought a bit of contrast was in order!chapmanruss wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 1:17 pm Nice base cabinet for being scrap wood and I like the knob.

The base was another fun part of the project - found a nice slab of cherry that had been in a fire, but still cleaned up beautifully for the top, and the adornments on the door were a good use of spare parts! Definitely one of a kind!!

Re: Gallery of Restorations
I'm brand new to the forum and knee deep into a shopsmith that makes the second picture brand new. I've taken it apart and cleaned and painted, wish I'd have done different colors now but I'm poor and went with what was available. Absolutely beautiful work you have done. I look forward to posting pictures when I'm done even though it looks no where near as beautiful. I love it tho so that's what matters I suppose.
