This is my Grampa's drill press that he got at a tool sale. I think it's from the 50s.

Could be very late 50's, 1958-1959. Never seen one that green color so probably repainted. The table looks nice, no arc of shame!

======================================

That is a nice stout machine. I have had the same one since sometime in the latter half of the 80s. Got it at a weekly auction. Came out of a home woodworking shop. Not a single oops! in the table. It should serve you well.

It looks like the original Craftsman motor was replaced and the extra tin belt guard was added at some point.

Here is a shot of my machine. They clean up real nice. --- John
