Hello:
This drill press belonged to my father who passed away April 30/08 at the age of 87 while cutting down the second of two trees!!

He got this press from his brother Art who passed away from cancer at the age of 62. I do not know how my uncle Art got it.

Stamped in the frame etc is "Buffalo Forge Co. Buffalo, New York" and the number 418. I don't know if this is a model number or just a forge stamp.

The press still runs very well and was used by my father until his passing. I start it up now and then just to let it run a while to keep things moving.

Anyone with information on this type of drill press please contact me.

Thanks in advance
Gary H.
