Anyone ever seen or heard of a Transpower drill press?

20" floor model. I thought I was pretty familiar with everything USA-made. Seller says it is 1979 USA, but I'm betting it's Taiwan.

Yeah I bet the press has a us city name on it so he is calling it USA made.

Yeah but that could be the HQ of the company. Its very similar to an asian DP. especially the tags on the front.

To much for a Taiwan drill press, did not not cost that much new.

Glacial, that's a much better deal .

I received a Transpower Tool Co drill press 3 speed. My Grandfater passed and he had this in his barn for years. I'm not looking to sell,but how much do you think it's worth. It say California, USA on it. Thanks

I purchased a Transpower 17 inch drill press in the mid 90’s for approximately $200. It has always performed well. There was a medal tag on the front saying”Taiwan “
