Thread: Dismantling an Elliott Progress drill
20/11/2018 21:42:45

I've just been reassembling mine this evening, exactly the same as yours - a No.1. Lots of oil and a knock with a wooden block under a lump hammer and the headstock came off the pillar ok with mine.I need to lubricate the bearings in the quill on mine as it has a kind of squeak. However, it's fairly tight so don't think need new bearings. I'm assuming they're greased. I took the 3 phase 1/2HP motor off my Dore Westbury miller and it fits perfectly. Today is the first time the drill has run in 10 years (in a squeaky sort of a way). I do love the solidness of these old machines. All best, Andrew.
