In the late 1920s Waco Tool Works made home shop machinery. This firm seems to be the same as Up-To-Date Machine Works, offering identical machines at about the same time out of the same address. One version used a detachable portable master drill motor which could be fitted with a drill chuck.

From July 1928 Popular Mechanics
