Thanks for your response,if it is not too much trouble I would like to read that oil post.I am thinking about adding a bit of sticker into the oil.

Hi Bob, could you send me a PM with your address and I'll either try to email or snail mail you with it.

Congratulations on an excellent restoration, it's a bit of inspiration to try and do better on my own haphazard ( and unfinished ) restoration jobs. It's not just a matter of preserving a bit of engineering history, it's also a matter of appreciating the quality and robustness of the earlier generations of tools.. When I think of comparing this heavy duty monster J&S with something like a Bunnings Ryobi plastic drill press.... :D

Nice set up on the line boring, one question, how did you feed the cutters through?
As I couldn't see any way that it was pushed/pulled through.:? Did I miss something!!!!!

Thanks for the nice reply's.The drill should be good for quite a while now, I will not be able to wear it out. RayG it certainly is a robust unit, when I first drilled with it I put on my vise and a piece of 20mm thick stock and drilled a 1/2" hole with the power feed set at the slowest rate and a speed of 44 RPM in back gear,to easy. After that I put my largest drill 1-13/64" in and it went through it with no effort. I increased the feed rate up to medium and used the 1-13/64" drill with no pilot hole and it did it with ease. You do have to stand back as it generates a decent size lump of swarf. With the current motor set up it has a speed range of 15-700 RPM.

Hi Kryn,
The line boring job had me scratching my head for a while. I used a single cutter and used the mill to supply the power and down feed. Job took way longer setting up than doing.
Bob
I must have been asleep to have missed all of this.:doh: Another example of your outstanding work Bob. Very well done.:2tsup:
Bob.
Thanks Bob,I have just come in from my workshop as it is getting too hot. I just used the J&S (any opportunity will do ) to drill a couple of 7/8" holes for another project. Its like stepping back in time hearing the flat belt running over the pulleys and the bit just keeps cutting.

I know exactly what you mean Bob.

Phil,
No doubt, multiplied by a few fold.
