Sand cast part for Rockwell drill press

[Manitoba Man]

I bought a Rockwell drill press from a school and it came without the collar for the depth stop. I cut one out of Styrofoam with my homemade ( of course ) hot wire cutter, buried it in sand and poured in the recycled aluminum with my homemade crucible etc. Later I faced off the sides with my homemade lathe,drilled and tapped a hole for the threaded adjuster made from ready rod and installed the two set screws.

Great job. It's handy to be able to cast parts.

Nice job on the collar. Nothing beats homemade parts made with homemade tools.

I'm impressed with your skill in casting and then machining the parts you need.

Nive work which is the perfect example of a self-made accessory from scap to usable piece.
