New to me

[M Cotney]

I hope I can get this right. I have a drill press that is new to me, but I feel is much, much older than I. I tried to upload some pictures but I don't think I did it right or they got lost in time. Other than a few casting numbers on the main body I have yet to find any other identifying marks nor name. I look forward to becoming able to share some pictures with You All as we can dig deeper into the history of this post drill press. Perhaps more importantly is the use ability of this thing, & how tight all the moving components are. It won't suprise me if this thing is 100 years old or older.?

You have really piqued my curiosity, I sure hope you can get some photos posted.

It's my understand that I must have 5 post before I can upload any pictures. By my count this will be number two. Man when I can place them so all of You can see, I hope Y'all know more than I do & can In lighten me on name & age. I found two drill presses in the same shop. One of witch is pretty large, one not so large. I also found a old Babco vise & a post mounted two wheel grinder. The grinder is old enough that it is lubed by two drip oilers. Now 3 more post to go

What sort of things do you plan to use this monster on?

 

[M Cotney]

Going to try setting up a display that I hope to have open to the public. Have one idem that I have no idea what it is.

I do have pictures of all I have mention with exception of the last one.

Like kid in a candy shop. By late evening I will post up the pictures I have of two drill presses. Do I show both in the same thread or separate?

You can post photos here. If you want to start another thread that’s ok too but put a link at the bottom of the post so others can follow along easily.

There’s never enough photos.
