Progress no.1 restoration

[flyingsailorParticipant @flyingsailor]

Good afternoon all,

 

we you can see below I am part way through the strip down of my progress no.1 drill I believe a mk.2 after looking on lathes.com

however my quill is absolutely solid as is the work bench slider below

best suggestions for freeing these up very welcome I have hammers wood fire and a 100T bearing puller wish me luck

Thank you

 

Jack

Maybe destroy the bearing cage and remove then fill with some freeing fluid of some sort, Plus Gas etc.and be patient. And by the look of the inside of the casting its been full of water at some time

Try to remove the cross shaft which the handle and return spring fit on first. The gear teeth which mesh with the quill will likely be straight, so careful drifting with a brass or aluminium bar should move it. I cannot see which way it should go, but there should be clues if you look carefully. Also, there should be a screw to stop the quill rotating, probably on the right side of the main casting which needs to come out, and will provide another entry point for the Plus Gas.
