This drill press is not for sale or trade. It is also no longer mine. I sold it to another OWWMember that wanted to be able to use it when he is out in the woods on his property and away from his shop. He would have his tractor with him and be able to mount it up on/in the bucket for drilling.

I purch'd this locally on 7.12.19 from a fellow that was cleaning out a relatives home and shop. I have no history on it except that the p.o. had been a printer and I paid $65 for it. The photos are courtesy of the p.o.. The p.o. also supplied a UTube video of a similar press in use, highlight the link and open to view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na720gjGd-A Note that the press in use and mine below are both missing the project hold down. There doesn't seem to be a way to secure the dp to a table, bench or even an upright post for use.
