Saved a Drill Press

[cool50]

This poor poor drill press was "condemned" to a bad ending at work a few years ago by someone who said it was not drilling straight. So, it was pushed off to the side and was target practice for birds flying around. After a few years of watching that happen I noticed it was gone. Well, one fine day in the parking lot I saw our old box truck parked in the back of the lot, curiosity took over and the sun was shining and I felt like a little walk. When I got to the truck in the back was this little drill press , I asked the proper people in charge and they gave it to me.. Soon I will give it a permanent home. More to come

Looks good, price was right too. I love it when companies throw away good stuff, and you can get it free.

Great score - will be interesting to see what you find "wrong" with it!

Update

Well I got a home for the drill press in the corner, but I needed an extension cord.(First picture)

Then I spent $5.85 at Menards and picked up some electrical supplies(Second picture)

Last, about one hour later vua-la finished (Last picture)

Lucky my dad was an electrician, so I learned a few things helping him my whole life.

Yeah, does it drill straight?

Yeah, But I think yours is bigger.
What is the measurement from the post to the center of the chuck?
Thanks

That press has a nice size table on it. Anything wrong with it?

So far I have used it a few time and found that nothing is wrong with it.

I think We either need to spell this out or put it real big on the 6:00 news, lots of people don't know what it is, I didn't when I 1st saw it.

Country Of Origin, Or where it was made.
Thanks,
