I stopped by a to say hello to a new neighbor and he was cleaning out the piles of junk. He gave me and old hand crank Drill press. Stuck under the drill was this tag, the Lube instruction and the name of the company on it. Just think this thing has been around since the very early 1900's.

The Amish purchase these, add a transmission
from a riding mower or garden tractor, to get
multiple speeds, and run them from a line shaft,
or with a small gas engine. Amish are always visiting a local junk yard to salvage mower
transmissions & other parts for such projects.

In our area we call them a post drill--you have to mount them to a post usualy. Many of those drills are broke because if you note they are power feed and guys kind of over fed them. They are a no effort drill, far better than a drill press for the hard to drill projects. There are still a lot of those special bits on auctions. The bolt that holds the drill bit has caught many many guys and wrapped them up in the drill. Very unsafe unless respect is used. If a piece of steel turns on you it will reposition your arms and then the bolt grabs your sleve or flesh.

Hi Walt ! I just donated one of those drill presses to our local antique farm society for their "new" black-smith shop. This one came from my uncle's estate, while my grandfather (also a blacksmith)had an even older model which was hand cranked with a heavy fly-wheel as opposed to the flat-belt style you have. Brings back a lot of memories as a boy in my grandfather's shop.

Hoss I am going to take the table off it for my perfect one in the shop. this one will need a table and advance mechanism to be ready to use.
If you pay the shipping I will let you have for $1.00
Walt

PS I will make 100% profit that way.
I might be able to take it apart and fit it in one of those cheap priority boxes.
