My atlas drill press

[tubes_rule]

I got it a while back for 40.00 running. I did a bit of de rusting. But nothing major yet, the only thing really wrong with it, is the one ear of the motor bracket. I'm finishing the table saw and jointer before I go 100% on the press. Today I got the **** decal.

As a side note, I'm picking up a king Seeley 14 inch saw.

I did one years ago and I loved it. Mine didn't have the light and man I wish I still had it. You will love it.

Those Atlas DPs are top shelf. Here's my 1948, #74 after a restoration. Originally a regular shop DP, I completely disassembled, cleaned/painted/polished and reassembled it. It has an OEM table list and a Speed Selector control that allows me to change the quill speed on the fly. I added a reverse switch for power tapping and attached the head of a desk lamp that belonged to my oldest son, while in high school. Third picture is how I set tup the post to spin for cleaning and polishing. Last picture is the before picture.

Gorgeous machine, lots of cool features and inspiration as well.

Thank you for the compliment. Drill presses are very labor intensive to restore. Satisfaction with the end result is priceless.
