Comments:

I bought this about 4 years ago from a kijiji add in Stittsville Ontario . It was made in Kitchener Ontario at Canadian Blower & Forge Co. LTD. From information I have read I believe it was made in 1948, it still has the original Buffalo decal on the belt guard. The maple wood handles on the lever handle are still original and in good shape. This is a great quality drill press and still works like new for being almost 80 years old . Not the original motor but works good and easy to find one of its era if I want to change it out . The table is in great shape with no ark of shame and just 2 little dimples on it .
