Looking at the cutting oil system on a vintage P&W 1/2B drill and was hoping someone could chime in on what is the working pressure of that system. My machine is basically original, with the telescopic tubes and original relief system. I'd estimate is is only a few hundred psi system.
I know today's standards for oil pressure at the drill are higher than 70 years ago, but I'd like to know what I'm starting with. This will help in the direction I take for upgrades, if they are actually needed. It has obviously drilled thousands of holes the way it is.
Thank you,
Dave
