Comments:

This Duro R-3080 bench drill press was used for production drilling at Rocky Flats before being decommissioned around 2005. Mostly intact and rusty, I reconditioned the drill press and the motor in Feb 2007 and now use it in my shop. It has the following options (according to the 1941 Duro catalog): F-308101 Production Base, L-308118 Locking Collar (on upright post), H-308021 Belt Guard (not shown). The motor is an 1/2 HP vintage Baldor "Streamcooled" unit. The original cast motor mounting bracket was missing and replaced by this non-original steel one. Missing parts: the table and the depth guard (the threaded rod next to the handle). If you have these parts, an email would be very much appreciated.
