Yes, I looked at those, and that was the closest I could find that had the "slide up and down" quill, made in England. And since the Chuck maker Thomas R. Almond, Ashburnham, Mass. had a Division in England, thought that might have been where the Drill Press was made, so looked up the...

Haven't been on this Site for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty on the procedures.

Trying to Determine who made this Vintage Drill Press, It has a Chuck made by Thomas R. Almond Co, Ashburnham, Mass. There are No Markings or Numbers on it to determine the Maker. I have restored Drill Presses before, but never seen one like this one. It's a 10 inch, and the Drill chuck and...

Went to an Estate Sale Thurs. they had a DP-220 for $50, came back Sat. 50% off day, figured it would be Long Gone. But still there, so got it for $25, will restore it, missing the front pulley cover, but rest of the Drill Press looks taken care of, GE motor runs good. Not sure how to post a...

Restored several Drill presses, and this is the only one I've got left that I kept. It's a Delta Rockwell Bench type, and does just what I want it to do. I've had bigger one's, bench types and floor models, but this one is my keeper. I have a very tight Shop, so I have to keep things in their...

I've have a Powr-Kraft 8 inch Table Saw since the 1960's I bought off of a friend for $35. It's mounted on an old typewriter table, with the sides that pop up if you need them. I mounted a trashcan underneath to catch the saw dust. Has the same old Powr-Kraft motor that works fine. I don't cut...

Your Sander looks good. That's what I might have to do too; but I already have a Delta 4 in belt sander with a disc on the side.

It's a heavy lift for sure, but getting it back down is a bit easier.

Had a 1/3 hp one a few months ago, to pretty to use, so I sold it. Seen several on craigslist, from $60 for the 1/3's to $200 for the 1/2's.

Just completed a cosmetic restoration on a Delta Homecraft 8 inch table saw combo, with a drill press, 4 inch jointer, and Sanding disc. What I could find out was that these were made by Delta in the 1952-1960 era; and were trying to compete with ShopSmith, which we know now, didn't work out so...

Interesting, I really never thought about building a vise, but after a bit of research on Google, I ran across yours and several others. I bought a home made vise the other day a guy said he made in the 70's or 80's as a project and he did a real neat job. I just restored it, repainted it, made...
