Comments:
I bought this drill press from a scrap dealer along with a 16 inch Flather tool room lathe in 1972. I mounted the 3/4 Hp electric motor on it and have been using it ever since. It has the planetary back gears and power feed. Very powerful and will twist off a 1 1/2 inch bit with no hesitation if it catches.
