Comments:

I bought this drill press from a local machine tool reseller. The drill press was in rough shape, unused for many years after years of hard service. Disassembled, cleaned, painted, bearings and belts replaced and rewired, it now performs admirably. As you can see by the John Deere green, I did not go for a restoration, but I'm happy with the result. Equipped with a variable speed head and quill autofeed. It runs off 3 phase 220v power that is provided by a VFD. I plan on filling the drilled-through table in the near future with JB Weld and fitted bits of steel.
