Thoughts on this Craftsman Drill Press

[M6erfan]

Have a line on this Craftsman 150, seller is asking $250. I think that's high, any thoughts?

About a mile high. Up here, that's $100 - 150 max.

That's what I was thinking...

thx

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yes, way too high.

I know little about drill presses, is the 150 considered a good one? For a home shop?

 

[M6erfan]

IMO, that's a $40 part-out machine. The feed handles/hub assembly is not original, poorly repainted and I don't see a table.

See, I never would've known that (the table is there, just not in photo...) Thx

The Craftsman 150 is a solid machine and there are thousands of them out there. Just keep looking. I paid the scrap yard salvage shop $75 for a complete working bench model which had been sold for scrap. It's now on my son's work bench.

Thanks guys, I'm inspired by some restorations Ive seen here. Would like to find one to tinker with...

No idea where you are, but I still have the one I listed in the classifieds here, has the third pulley and a foot switch.

I'd take a few bucks off for the ****-ugly green paint color....

Skip this one, and grab the bench top version that was listed yesterday.
