Badger110 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I watched a Fred Dibs episode last night and some of the old steam belt driven drills were like that, beasts of a machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Those drills are lovely! Mate of mine has one of the twin head ones. Bought for an absolute steal as they looked rough as anything plastered with carp, quick clean up and they’re great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean f Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If you want the drills sharpened let me know, I have recently acquired this, its and Archdale drill sharpener, old and very very heavy. Just got it working with a new motor, the old one probable works but was 3 phase and 550v which is what the transformer was for (any one want a 3 phase 400 to 550v transformer and motor?). It does up to 3" diameter drills, so far I have tried it successfully up to 1 3/4", does a nice job, very strange action, the bit rotates and the grinding wheel spins and moves side to side and in and out. It doesn't do a split point on web thinning, but with a drill that size you are normally going to have drilled a pilot hole any way. Just need to get a coolant feed set up for it. It even came with a free extra, I think it had been there for a while! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 You think you've got problems Couldn't really turn this down for £100 - fully functioning and single phase to boot, most people use mugs for scale - since this is a Land Rover forum note the door for scale . Stamped "Made in West Germany" so that dates it reasonably well... Acquired a few years before but my wee hydraulic press on the right and a table with 3 (there's another one on the floor) Elliott Progress drills. This was in my old place and I couldn't lift the largest of the three drills onto the table. Came across a manual and realised why - the 2G (G stands for gearbox to drop it to ~40rpm) bench mount version comes in at 180kg... And the table has three drills of similar size on it. Nice solid table though. That is until I bought this little one for a general purpose work bench Now I just need the building work downstairs in the workshop to actually finish - but the roller door went on yesterday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly is, dont know what I'll use it for but the motor is powerful and could be adapted for something else who knows ?

Your wish is my command ( but only to a point ) 2mm aluminium 2mm stainless 1mm mild steel, it struggled more with this and I think it's too aggressive for thinner material but having said that the cutting edges may need sharpening/ setting up regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
