Comments:

This drill press was owned by a tool and die maker's son. The drill press still has a tag naming the company it was purchased from: The Strong, Carlisle & Hammond Company. The drill press is all original, but required a complete tear-down and cleaning to use (the motor was full of sunflower seeds for no apparent reason). This drill press has a production table, but is not designed for tapered bits.
