When my Grandpa died in late 2008, I inherited a crate of old tools and machinery. Things like a rusty old drill press, a bench grinder, some drill bits, hand tools, and even some awesome Mitutoyo micrometers. Most of these had some strange graduation intervals, imperial, I believe it is called. Never the less, I set to work cleaning them up and restoring what I could.
The drill press took a fair amount of work to restore. The motor had rusted and most of the wiring was done.
