What is this???

I need some help identifying this guy... it has a spring loaded press action operated by the long handle. The moving part clamps onto some about 3" Dia.
Thanks in advance

That is a Drill Press. The clamp is to hold the drill body and the bolt above goes into the handle hole on the back of the drill motor. think big drill from the '50s

I was thinking that but that bolt facing down seemed odd. But i guess those old all metal drills...
