Buffalo 18 Drill Press Restoration. Finally Finished!,

[bigcaddy]

A few years back I picked up a Buffalo 18 floor model drill press for 110.00 bucks at an estate sale but it needed some serious love.

Due to my busy schedule, I never really got a chance to start on it and my dad started to take longer then normal looks at the press.

I ended up letting him have it and, after a lot of work, it's finally finished. The motor is getting a shaft sleeve installed due to some overlooked problems on the step pulley but the press is complete

Here is the lower half. It's hard to get it all one shot but once it's moved I'll take some better ones

Awesome! I've got a 15 that has been great for me. The 18 looks like a nice upgrade from that.
