The guy threw in a small machinist vise which I think is made in Taiwan.Īn annoying thing is that the table doesn't have screws to hold it secure. My goal for this thread is to identify the vintage, what's missing, and if I'm a complete sucker for paying $300. There's a name plate as you can see but it doesn't have a serial number on it. Runs very smooth and I didn't feel any play as I tried to wiggle the chuck back and forth. I'm curious how old this thing is, it's in decent shape but the table has an arc of drill marks. Right now I can't use the lowest step on the spindle pulley. I want it to be a bit lower and there's no more room for adjustment. It was in a dark trailer and I thought I saw 1/2 HP motor, but as I got it home I see that it's only a 1/4 HP Century. I'll be using it for drilling metal, not giant holes, I doubt I'll go over a half inch in no more than 1/4" plate. I'm thinking that I way over paid, hope I got a decent machine for what I want it for. I just spent $300 on an old Walker Turner drill press off Craigslist.
