It is difficult to find a decent drill press used, especially one of this caliber. Someone had listed it on a online buy/sell website and I was fortunate to snag it (probably due to the fact that he lived an hour drive away!). Well worth the drive, the thing runs like a beaut, and it only had .004" runout on the quill, not bad for its age! It can with the add on "dead man" foot pedal which is pretty handy for routine operations such as mortises. One of these days I'll get around to restoring it...

Comments: I know, the makeshift belt gaurd looks hideous. First thing I did when I got it home was take it off.
