Craftsman Model 100 or 150 Drill Press?

[montechris]

Can anyone help ID this Press? i think its a really early 50's 100 but i'm having a hard time figuring that out. What makes it unique is that it has the swivel base.

I picked it up a few years ago and its incredibly clean for a un-restored press. I might, post it in the classifieds and would like to include an accurate description. Need to make room for some more cars...

Thanks for all help!

100 series. The headband is different for the 150's, as well as the feed nuts. Early 100's had a tilt table.

Its nice, I like the tilting table.
I think you should try to keep it, and cherish it.

Seems like a good unit suitable for most of your needs. It being a bench model shouldn't take up too much room on the bench and will serve you well.

It's a 100. Great drill press, I've had 2.

Be fun to have one of those. Not using my big 15" floor model anymore. Mill/drill kinda killed that big one off.
