The latest vintage woodworking machine to find its way into my shop is a Fobco Star Drilling and Milling Machine.

I don't think this drill has been used in about 20 years. The electrics are shot and the chuck is seized. Before I can commit to this resto I need to make sure it is repairable.

Restoring a vintage Fobco Star Drill Press.

I am really enjoying these restorations so let me know if you want to see more of them and I will try and fit in the odd restoration video.
