The last step in rebuilding the Schaublin 13 has focused in th
electrical cabinet and wiring. The machine has been adapted to
ordinary 230V monophasic mains by using VFD’s and all the control

machine and, in the interior, a small junction box would be
desirable. I tailored a made-to-size box of steel sheet.
One of my projects this summer was to finish the cabinet for the
Wörner B13 drill press. The work mainly consisted of cladding the
steel support frame with MDF. The ultimate goal was to prepare it for
the electrical wiring and a set of drawers to organize the machine’s
tooling.

It was originally a 3 phase 220 V motor that in some moment was rewound to 380V. It has two speeds in a dahlander winding and an additional speed in an ordinary winding. Note how big and sturdy is the motor enclosure because of the number of speeds:
