Hi

I bought this Rexon drill press at a reasonable price but it needs
some serious work - I think it may well be the most abused drill
press in the whole world !! ( but its a stout one so it is worth my
while to rebuild it) Considering the shocking state of the table and
handle section I cant understand how they did not break the elevating
rack !!

The table is full of holes - what can be done ?

back with a piece of copper, then fill holes with weld, grind to match
( a cup grinder in the chuck works really well for this :.) )

or fill with milliput for a quicker, untidier fix.


Also the table spigot is fast on the arm - don't think it was ever
moved - how can I get it loose ?

3-in-one oil.
or heat it up.


Can you please offer some advice on how to repair the hole through the
pinion shaft - it is very worn at the one end

weld it closed, rebore
or (again) milliput and rebore

or: (since I'm not familiar with this drill)
can you just make the hole bigger, and use a bigger pin?
