Have been working on an old Archdale radial arm drill. The only?model number I can see is RD 7050 and the drill certainly seems 30-40s era. Have slowly sorted out the various functions and the drill seems to work well. Have decided to drain the oils in the spindle head and the gearing for raising and lowering the arm. Any ideas as to the type of oil to use?

Also where is the oil filler point for the spindle gearbox. There is a circular opening on the top of the spindle head that from old photos had a glass cover.?is that the filler point. Mine has been replaced with a metal replacement. Are?manuals available anywhere?

Thanks for viewing Mark 107 109 153710. Hi Mark 123, ' Archdale ' made really good radial arm drills so you've struck lucky there. As I recall that ' tower ' on top of the drilling head should be a sight glass for the pumped oil supply in the drilling head. It should be a large dia clear plastic/glass tube so you can see the oil supply being delivered to the top of the gearbox. Soal Toeic Dan Pembahasan Pdf Download.

You really need to make it clear again. Given their position they're very prone to ' swinging crane hook ' style damage. I've had the same problem and I've milled a flat on both sides of the metal tube and glued a strip of plastic on either side so you can actually see the flow. The old water tap style knob sticking out of the right hand top of the drilling head is for a ' comb ' style oil filter. The idea is to turn it a few time every day. You need to take it out and clean it.

DO NOT take the filter unit itself apart, just clean it in paraffin. Master P Presents Down South Hustlers RARE. Don't ask how I know that! I think the drilling head oil filler cap is that knurled plug you can see just in front of the tower in one of the photo's. There should be a sight glass lower down on the front of the drilling head for the oil level.

I'd use a light to medium gear oil to fill the drilling head. I'm not really as familiar with that era of ' Archdale ' drill as I am with the later pre-op style of drills but there are many similarities. I'd say your drill was probably made in the early 1950's.

I can see the metal strip that should cover the elevating screw is missing but that's not unusual and it isn't the end of the world. I can't see clearly but are the ' doctor ' strips that protect the ways intact? How are the locks on the arm? They're easy to adjust, as are the roller bearing way guides. Regards Tyrone.
