Waldown drill restoration
Hello I am new to the forum so not sure if I have posted in the right thread. I have just acquired an old Waldown drill press. It’s in ok shape but bearings and chuck feel rough. I am pretty sure chuck is held on by a taper. I gave it a good go with a hammer and drift but it didn’t budge. Before I wreck it I thought I would ask people more expert than me before continuing. Basically I need some guidance as to how to
remove the chuck
Disassemble the chuck to clean it out
Remove the spindle mechanism so I can get at the bearings
Where to get the bearings
I have attached some pictures below
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Matt.
Your in the right section of the forum but have posted at the end of this thread on Australian Machinery.
Its much better to start a new thread of your own about your drill . With its own heading, Waldown drill what ever .
For one, sometimes people wont get involved in helping when this takes place .
You questions will remain lost in what is another story.
Help and responses will be a lot better.
You just need to start a new thread in this section .
You found a Waldown in France ?

ACE wood working machinery Band Saw - help needed
Thanks to all here for the info provided.
I have an ACE 3 phase band saw which would be circa 40's or 50's
It had a Crompton motor now dead.
It's back together and running with a weg 6 pole mining motor - sweet as
The unit a a complete beast - I'd reckon 200 Kg all up
I do suspect there are bits missing and really need some help in working out what's missing
If there is anyone that can help please let me know - I can send pics.
I also have an Aritisan 8" table saw jointer - a fantastic tool (other than the kick back ... send a piece of timber across the workshop and through the wall)
Many thanks
