Few things followed me home.

Was happy to give 150 for everything.

Press works really well. Been looking for one for a while now!

I like the drill press, but I'm more jealous of the space behind it!

Very nice. I like how it slides horizontally. I assume all the extras came with it?

 

[Hafen_Kafer]

Thanks dude.

Yep, $150 for everything is a good deal.

I've got one of those little Rockwell radials in my basement shop. It's a good allround home shop machine and is excellent for woodworking, as the radial depth can get to the center of large workpieces and can drill at an angle. The PO made a larger plywood table which fits over the iron table, to support larger wood work.

However, that same flexibility makes it too light for any serious drilling in steel. When you drill into steel, move the horizontal arm back as close to the column as the workpiece will allow. This will decrease deflection.
