THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, DON'T ASK, AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOUR ITEM "X" FOR IT. THIS IS NOT A SALES FORUM AND I DO NOT HAVE MACHINERY FOR SALE HERE.

THIS IS NOT MY DRILL PRESS. This is all I have for photos at this time, I have permission from the owner to post the photos here to see what can be found out about it. I've found out from the owner that it was purch'd a number of years ago from the "piano factory" in Irondequoit, NY (a Rochester suburb). The owner restored it, paint and a new front pulley guard, new motor, etc. He believes that it is pre-1920s or from the 1920s, and has never known who made it, only that it has the machinery companies tag on it. I have been unable to find anything on this firm so far, after a short search. The press weighs a lot, a guess of 350 lbs was made, I have no way to confirm that. What with the trough around the outside of the deck, I'm guessing that it was used for metal working. It appears to be more like a "sliding head" type of dp than a sensitive drill press too, altho' maybe this design was more common back then? The date on the photos is not accurate, ignore it.
