looks I lost it anyway I'm looking

sorry zkling didn't mean you should be lol

got it waiting for you reply

I am looking at a lot of drill presses lately no luck with American made. Question...Is there any difference between Craftsman 12 speed and HF or did they rollout from the same plant as it were

I tried to get from the owner but they don't know if it says American made or what. I know what you mean if I had a number I could tell where it was made but sadly no, its 1 hour from me

Is a 3 year old standing DP from craftsman worth 200.00. It runs well

what is VFD

I have looked on Craigslist for a DP but have found nothing and am still looking. I would use it infrequently but I don't want a 5 speed as I may wish to drill steel and that's not so hot. I wouldn't mind a filthy old one but I don't want to take it to a machine shop to straighten anything...

I'snt Ryobi the same as HF or Sears?

Thanks for getting back, I don't know the speeds. says 400, 800,1200,1600 . Cant think of a 4 speed dp

I can pick up an old Jet drill press made in Japan. Are they ok? What is your opinion compared to an old sears:dunno:

whats a chicom

my budget is 300.00 maybe more if its an older American in good shape. Wanted to buy sounds like an ok idea. Glad to get the info on the Skil was wondering

what if there is no 113. number just 00934985000 and model ZJQ4116D. That's what I'm trying to find out. I know if there is a 3 number with a period that tells me who made it but I cannot find that

OK I need a drill press and craigslist isn't showing me anything so far so ok...sit down now... Craftsman or Harbor Fright. The ones I'm looking at are rated 4 stars bench top. Whadda ya think? Oh yeah Skil gets a good rating but looks a little small:eyecrazy::willy_nil
