Found this for sale online, a family was thinning out their father's belongings in his barn and I picked this up for $40. From my research these drill presses were sometimes made with several presses attached to the same base, I assume in a manufacturing setting. I think this was one of those drill presses at first, then a solid steel base plate was made for it to stand-alone. Super easy restoration, and one of my first dives into this new hobby.
