Sometimes I think this forum is like a virus: members talk about and show such interesting projects, I just HAVE TO HAVE the tools they happen to use..... :doh:
R.C.'s use of a magnetic drill for line boring had me getting interested in magnetic drills a long while ago. However, they are so expensive that I just couldn't justify one :(
Anyway, one thing led to another over the years and I managed to buy an old German magstand with an equally old drill motor attached - obviously at a very reasonable price.
Doing some research, I learnt from the drill manufacturer that it was made in March 1970 (just before I turned 19) and ALL spare parts are still available :o. They even sent me a parts list, an expoded drawing and a user manual. Excellent service.
These things trade in Germany used at prices around 2000Euro OMG! :o
Anyway, it is an 'Elbe' magnetic stand (that company doesn't seem to trade any more) fitted with a Duss 900W 6-speed drill. Speeds are from 180rpm to 3800rpm and takes a No2 Morse taper.
It came with a 2MT to 3MT extension, a 3MT to 2MT sleeve and a 1/2" keyed chuck on 2MT arbor.

The drill switch is possibly cactus, as it doesn't reliably mechanically switch off. A new replacement is available at 24Euros..... I might just see what's stopping it first.
I pulled all of the mag stand apart, cleaned everything, stripped all the paint, and repainted it after tidying a few things up - as you do. I also got all the paint off the drill and repainted it. Then freshened up the MT adapters and chuck and replaced one of the electric plugs. Will see if I can replace the cracked bakelite socket on the stand for the drill and the delapidated and unprotected switch for the magnet. I'll make a protective surround for it I think. Then I'll check the carbon brushes and general internal condition of motor and gearbox and replace the grease, if needed. Something I learnt from the drawing they sent me: this thing has a grease recirculating pump in the gearbox!
This thing is a monster.... :U I can barely lift it by myself but it has two strategicly positioned lifting points. I must try out the lifting capacity of the magnet one day...
It has about 400mm movement of the drill rack and pinion, fully adjustable gibs and locks for all movements. The setup can twist around the magnet for alignment after the chuck is switched on and has an excentric sleeve in the mounting around the round column, that allows the drill to be moved around 12mm towards/away from the mag position without moving the magnet. I guess these adjustments are handy if you have lifted and placed the whole thing on a girder or overhead and the drill doesn't quite align with the mark....
Tomorrow its going back together and I'll take some 'after' photos. So far, it looks very spiffing in the new paint.
