Comments:

I bought this drill press along with a Boice-Crane Planer from the original purchaser in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He told me about buying them in 1945 in Toledo Ohio, then moving them to Albuquerque soon after. Motor replaced with a Delta at some point.

Edit: this entry was amended on 6/2/2011 to update some of the machine specs. The original entry date was 3/12/2010. DG

Comments: Switch did not look right mounted on the Rockwell motor, so I use it as a secondary shut off switch.
