Cincinnati Royal 18 Drill press

[the gypsy]

Hi guys I am trying to post some pics of a clean Cincinnati Royal 18 drill press and am having some problems. Does anyone have one or know about this DP. I would like some info while I am trying to post a pic. It is a DP that is for sale. I cannot seem to work around the craiglist listing.

They are very nice drill presses. That looks to be in good condition, with what looks like an x y positioning table on it.

Here is a manual. What all info are you looking for?

Hi zkling, thank you for responding so quickly. This DP is on craiglist here in Canada it looks very clean, looks like a good machine and the quill travel looks like it is six inches. I think it is pricey but I have never seen something this clean. I am debating if it is worth the asking price of $500.00, probably not what is your opinion.

Not the deal of the century, then again you shouldn't be ashamed to pay that either, if the press is in as good condition as it looks, I'd say that is a fair to good price. That is a very large DP for the home shop. That table alone is worth at least $100+. If you NEED a drill press, that would keep you busy for a long time.

Theres about 3 18's on ebay right now for $1800-2000. I know its all relevant but even if those are worth half the asking price, the $500 price of that one sounds damn good. The real question is why isnt it in your garage by now?!

That press is about on par with the 17" delta. A little bit more hefty, but nothing earth shattering.

In the last pic I see a small switch, am I imagining things or is this a reverse switch?

Haha i know, but thats why i figured for even half of that. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to go there with $450 cash and pick that sucker up!
