Nice Little V/S Drill Press

I've had this little Rockwell 3/8" press for a few months. When I won it on e-Bay it was in sad shape. I cleaned it up, gave it a good lube and replaced a few parts -- it turned out nice. This press was sold in the late 70's and is adjustable from 600 to 2800 RPM on the fly. Just turn the dial on top and the speed varies accordingly.

A versatile little press that was Made in the USA. I bought it for my small railroad hobby room --

Good eye there "vssjim". That box has been with me for over 30 years. At the time it was the biggest box that Sears sold. It was simply called "Sears Best". Amazing what Sears used to sell, versus the poor quality of today's offerings.

Very handy drill press! I have a cheap single speed I use all the time. Nice old Sun instruments too.
