Pillar Drill project finished at last...

[Noods]

Finally got my Cincinatti pillar drill finished.. Purchased as an abused and rusty. £129.... Sheared bolts, table raise lower gears a total mangled mess, levers missing others snapped.. Biggest problem was finding a replacement belt..

In order to run off my supply I chose a Mitsibushi invertor.. It's fantastic, I can adjust speeds or select reverse at the touch of a button.. Lots of programmes already set too, eg to start off nice and slowly and then to climb to my chosen speed.. She weighs a tonne, 6ft tall.. Thanks to Owen, Wattsie and Our Stef for all their help with this beast..

New fabricated raise lower mechanism.. Due to original a seized mangled mess.. I have made it so I can if I wish use my half inch drive ratchet to raise etc if I desire..

Big heavy feet..

Milling vice and lube system fitted

Mitsibushi inverter wired in minus it's front cover..

Polished Ford Puma gear knobs as handles.. Lol

Jeez what a quality job Noods. I'm impressed. That looks a professional job.
Ducati decals behind it sets it off well.

Thanks..

It was sooooo difficult bringing in a Japanese inverter into my little Italy... Lol..

Spot on job! Careful with the Ducati decals, it'll get damp and break down

Well as we know, Italians invented the wiring diagram, they just never managed to get electricity to follow it

Honda produce 13 million jap crap metal clones each and every year.. Ducat 20,000 pieces of art a year .. I'd prefer to be the sheepdog rather than just one of the flock...
