It is a delta drill press but not sure on the model. I bet superman was the one using it, and possibly got pissed off the handle kept moving

Possible, I looked up that brand and it looks like it

It's not my drill press. Someone in my town is selling it

I believe you're correct I did a search after you mentioned tapping head, and similar products showed up

Anyone know what this drill attachment is?

I have two bench top drill presses. One is a Duro and the the other is a Delta. The Duro was originally a replacement for a small cheap bench top drill press. Unfortunately the table was frozen and you can see where the previous owner must've hit the side of the table and broke a couple of...
