This machine was listed on the .org site by NJ's-own Nick D. and was very complete except for a few minor issues. It was given an overhaul, new paint and a few new parts and pieces that I had on hand, already. I have a set of OEM legs for it but I'm in dire need of storage so opted for an enclosed base on casters for underneath. The machine is heavy... almost 400 lbs. Mounted on the end of the spindle nose is a #2 Morse Taper attachment I had on hand, too. This allows the lower arm to clear any work or jigs that might be on the table.

The three phase motor is the original motor and gets its power from a VFD that's mounted on the wall directly behind it. Presently the head-mounted switch is by-passed-- On/Off is done from the VFD. The 4-step pulley and the VFD give a whole range of speeds and great control of torque.

In college we had a Uni-Drill in our school woodshop and it was only ever really used for two operations that I can remember-- as a stage for harmonographs that we built and for mixing Cascamite and Resorsinol glues.... I'll see if I can put this one to more uses.
