My father gave me this Drill press a couple of months ago. He acquired it from my grandfather when he passed some 30 years ago. The first picture is the "as received" condition and I have worked very hard to get it to the shape as in picture 2. I have checked the runout and it is .001". Not bad. I put new bearings in the motor, which is the original Driver-Line. Everything is in great shape. I was amazed how the tables cleaned up and no pitting exposed under the rust. Gave me some indication as to the steels of long ago. All I need now is to install the belt. I have ran the motor and it is fine. If anyone is interested, I have several other "before-n-after" pics available and they are yours if you email me.
