Machine Information
Serial Number:	LZ
Machine Type:	Other
Machine Description:	55-YWL-4506-A
Owner:	Todd Henrich
Manufacture Date:	Unknown
Notes:	Source=Owner's submission (this is actually a Craftsman drill press with a Powr-Kraft motor). This drill press was given to me when my Grandfather died in 1980. I was told it was his fathers and was purchased sometime in the 40's. This is a Montgomery Ward Powr Craft Drill Press 1/3 hp 1725 RPM 115V 60 Cycle 1 phase 6.1 amp, however, the name plate on front says it's a Craftsman. I have been unable to find out any photo's or information about this Machine. It is covered in dust but when I fired it up 20 years ago, it still worked. Any info on this would be helpful.
