Machine Information
Serial Number:	FR-7518
Machine Type:	Drill Press
Machine Description:	11-280 32" Radial Drill Press
Owner:	Jan Steinmetz-Hellerstedt
Manufacture Date:	1973
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission (admin added date based on s/n). Owner's notes: Additionally to the Rockwell serial plate there is is a label that says "Schleicher". The Schleicher company was a large dealer for woodworking machines in the 1970s so I assume they imported the radial drill press to Germany. That would explain the somewhat extended and redesigned belt guard.
