Recently found this.. not sure if the wooden part is original or how old it is but I stuck a battery in it and it came to life! Needs cleaning up but otherwise pretty sound :)

That sound great to me! I'm just looking at postage options now, I will PM you. Cheers!

I have absolutely no idea to be honest with you. In the UK the national postal service is The Royal Mail, and it's pretty expensive and unreliable so I generally use courier services to send stuff domestically. If you could provide me with the weight and dimensions of the cover then I could have...

@Tarnished Yeah I just joined actually and have spent a reasonable amount of my day thus far looking at giant medieval looking bandsaws and other massive cast iron monsters. I will have a look in the for sale section and see what comes up.. @454Ragtop that looks like it could do the job, would...

Tarnished, your drill is an absolute beauty!! I shouldn't think mine will end up being even close to that.. I would be happy with it having a lick of paint and being mostly made of the correct parts :) Re: the cover. I'm not bothered at all if it's the exact right cover for the machine, I would...

Ahh right, that makes sense. I have just managed to get a Delta catalogue from 1943 and it shows quite clearly the different 17" drills. Mine is a lowly 17-205, meaning it has a smaller, non production type table than your 210, or so it seems to my untrained eye. @454ragtop would you be able...

So here are some photos, it's pretty grimey at present. And yes, the garage is as dark and dismal as it looks in the pictures, but I'm working on that haha. Here is the front badge, which seems identical to the Delta one but says Tauco instead, I can just about make out the lower text which...

Hmmm. I'm not exactly sure but I think I have the lower tray. I will take some pictures as soon as is possible and that will hopefully shed some more light on things :) Also yes, my name is Rob! Cheers.

I'm hoping I can get some help regarding my Pillar drill. I picked it up a few years ago for a song and have only used it occasionally. I couldn't really find much information about it other than it was made by a company called "Tauco", or so I thought. It turns out Tauco is actually the name...

Was doing some work in a school out in the middle of nowhere and they gave me a visitors bade to wear on a lanyard.. on the way home my exhaust hanger bent out of place and snapped on the other (cheappppp lowering kit.. rumble rumble bang bang..) and so I tied it back on with the lanyard. Forgot...

I bought a Record of ebay a couple of months back for £10.. the picture was pretty sketchy but it looked a fair size an nobody else bid. I was on holiday so my buddy went and picked it up for me and dropped it at my workplace. Got back and it was an 8" monster! The jaws were a bit gnarly but...

Same! ^^ Probably why I have no space and no money. But lots of cool stuff!

If that roll cart was closer I would be all over it! Love this thread!!

Amazing thread

Absolutely mind blowing.
