A radial drill press made from spare parts

Step 5 Drive

I made a pattern to cast the drive housing in aluminum or zinc alloy but meanwhile I made a crude functional one from scrap Delignit, which is kind of beech plywood used for different piano parts, foundry patterns and bulletproof doors. To get the machine working I just used an old electric drill for power, so it has some non-standard parts but a small treadmill motor will probably work with regular ones.
