Comments:

Others have told me this drill press was sold by Canadian Tire in the 1950-60's
Unknown who the actual manufacturer was.
No markings anywhere on the machine that I can find, other than the SKF decal on the belt cover.
No Mastercraft tag on it or any evidence that it ever had one.
Very distinctive beehive shaped belt cover.
Similar to other benchtop drill presses of the same era. Beaver, Atlas, Canadian etc..
Delco motor may be the original motor.
