The Kaiser Piccolo is an exquisitely made mid sized boring head with boring and automatic facing functions. I got a ISO30 one in a very nice condition together with a bunch of tooling. When tested it performed very fine but I couldn’t switch easily between facing and boring (marked as P and A in the head, maybe for the french «planage» and «alésage»). It needs to be serviced to cope with this jam.
In this post I show the result of carrying a sequence of tests to the rebuild Wörner drilling press to check its accuracy. I took an Aciera 10 drilling machine inspection chart as a reference. Both machines are of similar size and Aciera quality is second to none.
One of this summer works have been to finish the cabinet of the the Wörner B13 drilling press. It was mainly a work of covering the steel frame support with MDF. The final desire is to get it prepared to fit the electrical wiring and a set of drawers to organize the tooling of the machine.
