Saw this a Scandia Propeller in Fairhaven, MA - near New Bedford. It is in use - mostly to taper the hole in propellers. Scandia works with fairly large propellers for commercial fishing boats - so it isn't hard to find ones that are 4 ft in diameter or larger, They have a machine shop and do hydraulics. He said he got the drill press around 1938.

The shop is so crowded it was hard to get a good photo.
