C-frame drill press with an unusual speed control. The motor is mounted horizontally behind the vertical quill; a metal disk is mounted on the motor shaft, and another metal disk with a rubber rim is mounted on the quill so that its rim is against the surface of the motor's disk. The disk on the quill can be moved up or down to vary the speed, and if the disk goes past the center point of the motor disk then the quill's rotation reverses.
