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.

Hope it is not top heavy!
Next project making some sacrificial wooden inserts for the table.

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!!
