Doesn't have much swing for its size. Looks built for tall work that's not that big around.

...and it's ugly.
I think we need an intervention.

That rare WT is nice but I bet that dp on the first post would twist your lil shaft backwards in a snap! It's all about function, if that one works for you, good deal.

Not with the underpowered motor that is on it.
So not only is it ugly..it's weak too.
In all seriousness. The drill press initiallly posted is IMHO the best comprimise between useable for work and cool to look at old. I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is. With the MT2 it would be awesome for the ~0.5-1" range holes.
Is that your shop?
I think I see A (single) chip on the floor.

Not to thread jack... but didn't want to start another another big drill press thread
Check it out - serious work table.. and a nice mill vise. The price doesn't suit my blood - but it's still a neato piece of equipment

That one is too old for me! Besides, I already have it's cousin, an Edlund 1-1/2 F-12 high speed drill press.
The next road trip will be for a cylindrical grinder, I think.

That DP didn't come off a Coast Guard ship, did it ?

What he's saying, Outlaw, is that DP is not a big enough challenge for the firecamarobird

Jabber, my boy, I'd be afraid the building would rotate, when I turned that wee beastie on...
The funny part is, I'd love to have that thing, but I have no idea what I'd do with it...

It's like that Kevin Costner movie " IF YOU BUY IT THE USE WILL COME"
