Belt driven drill press .. your great grand-daddy's ???
IT'S HEAVY ... FOLKS TELL ME THAT IT'S AN ANTIQUE .. I KNOW IT IS VERY OLD .
BELT DRIVEN DRILL PRESS ... FROM THE 1900'S - 1930'S ?? SOME OF YOU TOOL EXPERTS PROBABLY KNOW A LOT MORE ABOUT IT THAN I DO ...
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU FIND LAYING AROUND EVERY DAY ... I'VE BEEN TOLD THESE WERE COMMON 50 - 100 YEARS AGO .. BUT KINDA SCARCE NOW ..
SEEMS TO BE ALL THERE ...AND YES, I DO HAVE THE TABLE AND POLE, BUT THEY AREN'T IN THE PICTURE .. NO BROKEN PARTS THAT I CAN TELL ... TURNS FREELY AND WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD .. NEEDS A BELT .. BUT THEN WE'D HAVE TO USE YOUR HORSE ... OR STEAM ENGINE AS I DON'T HAVE ONE I CAN SPARE ...
