I NO LONGER OWN OR HAVE THIS DRILL PRESS IN MY POSSESSION, altho' you can PM me and we can discuss it's present location and maybe viewing it. I know very little of this machine, other than it is a Rochester, NY native and manufactured there, the dp came from the Conesus L. area. I will add some more specific info & dimensions as I get into some preliminary restoration on this dp. You will see in the third photo that the press has two independent work tables. The top most is square and rotates 360 degrees, atop the stand, it won't go any lower and it has an impressive "arc of shame". The press itself attaches to the top of the stand with three bolts into the head of the stand. I do not have the original bolts to attach the press, but did extract two relatively new remnants of other bolts that someone used to put it together. The bolt ends will give me enough info (diam., thread pitch) to go on to obtain replacements. The lower table will travel up and down the rail attached to the front of the stand, it also has an impressive "arc of shame".
