KC9KAS 4,741 #1 Posted August 21, 2015 I live in a small (700 population) community and this weekend (Friday & Saturday) is a "Town Wide" yard sale. There are about 75-80 different sales going on and folks sent in a list of goodies they would be selling so a map could be made for "out of towners". I saw a drill press listed and was at the guys house before sun-up this morning. I got it or $50 and I know it isn't the world best, but I feel I got a decent deal. I know how everyone wants photos, so here is my new drill press..Oh, the rust is only surface rust and comes off with a little WD-40 and fine grit sand-paper. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,081 #3 Posted August 21, 2015 It is a great score. Much better than my bench top drill press. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

305 380 #7 Posted August 22, 2015 i have the same one, but don't use it much since i have a Bridgeport mill. i see that it has a #2 Morse taper on the spindle , i suggest you get a keyless chuck to fit it so changing drill bits etc is real easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
