Please help identify this Cincinnati drill press.

Hi All,

New drill press I may be interested in. I can't find this one with Google.

Anyone know model # or even era?

It has auto feed. Seller stated variable speed pulley in rear??? Maybe Reeves drive? It was against the wall so I could not see it today.

It has a 220 3ph motor, not really a camelback, but looks like it shares some old features of the camelbacks.

Like a dummy I forgot to measure the throat, but the table is 17" in diameter, so I think this is a 20" or 21".

MT shank. 12" drill depth.

It is not powered up at the moment. The seller (who I know somewhat..he flips stuff) showed me a video when he first got it and plugged it in with a rotary converter.

Also, can you tell from all the levers and what not if this thing has reverse?

Thanks everyone, -Dave

My first guess was a jig borer, but it is in fact a 22 inch cincinatti sliding head drill press

Sliding head? This head doesn't slide front and back....or are we misunderstood?

I'm not sure of the model but with the power down, size, and other features I'd like it. A few hundred is a steal, if it all works. A grand or so if you have real use for it.

no neat sig line

I see no sliding head. Still looks like a great old drill press.

Looks like a predecessor of the Cincinnati Super Service drills, if most of my books werent packed in storage I may have a catalog showing it. I really like it, beautifully heavy but not too much...

Ok, so after a little research, a sliding head actually slides up and down, while the actual drill travel stays put/is independent.

I don't know if this one does that or not....still learning about these things right now.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Because the levers on the right are similar to the old camelbacks, but this has a more modern frame/body.

Any idea what year-ish it may be?

Late 20s-early 40s. I found a 1929 Cinci mill catalog last night, ~1/4 of them are still old "open" machines, ~3/4 are enclosed with a similar Art Deco styling. I'll share a pic or two when I get home tonight and have time to reread, there's a couple awesome pics of Rigid pipe wrenches and lineman pliers being production gang-milled in that one somewhere.
