Ok, so I have been saving up for the Yost 750-DI because I have seen other guys use it in their shop...it obviously has that swivel action on the head that people love. It is $180 plus tax on amazon, so I budgeted out $200. Well, cut scene to yesterday when I found a guy selling a Wilton 6 1/2...

Thanks guys! I'm going to give it a go.

He started at $150 and wants to meet in the middle at $100 firm...you guys think its worth it? Its about 45 minutes away so its not too much of a commitment.

It's funny, I started putting together a shop to make knives about a month ago and now I'm obsessed with drill presses...I'm going to go pick up a taiwanese 16 speed guardian power DP from the 80's for 100 bucks on the way back from getting this one!

Interesting. I think I might go ****** it up today. I'm going to offer $50 and see what happens. He says that it runs great. Could be a fun project!

Thanks, yea, that was the only part that had any information on it. I didn't know if that was the company that made the grinder or not, but I guess the guy(previous owner of the house my friend bought) just put some random motor on some no name grinder. Thanks for the quick response anyway :)

Found this from a local private seller while cruising for old drill presses...any idea about what it is? He says the plate with the info is rubbed off and he has no information about it.

A friend gave this bench grinder today, can't find any info on it at all! Any idea what I'm working with here?
