Vintage Craftsman Drill press

[doan]

Found this on Craigslist. Asking $95. Anybody know what model it is? Assuming it is in good working order, is that a reasonable price?

 

[softailgarage]

looks like a "100", kinda high on the price.

 

[doan]

I thought the price was high too. These almost never come up around here, when they do, asking price is usually around $100. This one has been listed for 2 weeks.

I'd let that one go...

What's a reasonable price?

if they never come up in your area, $100 is a reasonable price, though high. They never come up in my area either...and if I wasn't already outfitted I would drop $95 on that. Just sayin'...

price depends...does it run smooth and tight...? Not at all...? Etc...?

What's a reasonable price?

More important question is what is the condition? Can't see the motor in the pic, is it original or replacement? Does it have the original 4-step motor pulley?

Price is sorta steep for what it is, half would be more reasonable, even if the original motor was there. They're nice units for what they are, but $95 is high for that one.

If it was all good and all there, personally, $70 is the max I'd give.

I think its an 80, not the 100/150 size...

recently paid $35 for this one, with the low-speed pulley. Here's a pic after an hour of clean up. I am amazed how well this thing works, compared to some newer and fancier drill presses I have had.

Those drill presses in good condition are worth some money around here. $150 is the usal asking price, selling prices I'd guess is a little lower.

If you need a drill and want a decent one, offer $75 and go pick it up ASAP! So what if the bearings need replaced ... all the better!

Correct, as I believe the 100 had the metal trim whereas the posted one does not have it below the Craftsman logo.

Up here in Western New York that would be in the $ 150.00 range.

I just bought one here for $75 complete.

yea not worth $95, $70 tops if even that, does it even run smoothly do you know, or does it run like a screeching pig

I paid $120 for a Craftsman 150 floor model not far from you (mckinney area). It was slightly higher than I wanted to pay but like you said they never really come up in our area.

Dave

why, thanks! It didn't occur to me that the extra pulley was that big of a deal...until I started reading about them here. Sure runs smooth!

 

[pudgybear]

I have one I found on the web...but I cannot find the site again. Will keep trying.

here is another one, with the belt settings for the single-belt model. You can search their site for other Cman vintage drill presses, as well. http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/5181.pdf
