weekend find = new toy

[Hula daddy]

I have been looking for a bench top drill press. I just never found a used one I was willing to pay for the asking. But I found this yesterday on craigslist. It is much more than I will ever need but it does have a 4 inch stroke. And the WTF expression on my wife's face when I brought it home = Priceless.

$70.00 and include the sliding vise.

Brian,
I have that very same drill press. The issue with that particular model is to raise the table is miserable sometimes. It does not have a gear drive so to raise it sometimes it becomes a fight. If you are interested, I have an awesome fix for that using a hydralic cylinder from HF. They are about 35.00. While I have frequently thought of replacing the drill press, now it works way easier than the crank models and I can't bring myself to do it. PM me if you are interested in the fix.
