This machine came from Reed College in Portland, OR. They were updating their wood shop and apparently felt these were of no use anymore :)
The man I bought this from, who worked at the college, said they were just getting rid of this and a Walker Turner 20" drill press. He gave the 20" to his father and kept this, until he sold it to me. I found it on CL.

It did not include the original Driver Line motor, the slo-speed attachment and the table raising mechanism. I pulled those off a 15" bench model (which I will eventually pot here)

It still has some of the remains of the original "Portland Machinery Company" sticker. I did my best to keep it intact while I was cleaning it.

There is still work to be done on it. The motor needs to be cleaned, painted and rewired. I also need to make a metal spacer to sit between the table raising casting and the bottom of the table mounting.

Comments: You can see where the spacer is needed in this photo. The original table attached was a one-piece and that metal ring bolted directly to the casting
