Someone was waiting for me at the range today

[4thSBCT]

I went to the range (on target) with a buddy who was visiting and leaving to go back to Nebraska tomorrow and saw this sitting in the parking lot with a sign taped on it "free" I went inside and asked the guy if that was their drill press outside and he said yes that they were trying to sell it and gave up. He also said it was in good working order. It is made by craftsman but I'm not sure about the date on it. When I got it home I check everything out and it seems really nice.

Sweet, about as basic as it get's right there.

[trautert]

C&R, too, from the looks of it.

Nice score 4th!

[PatriotnMore]

score, I would like to have it also, especially for the asking price.

You should see if Craftsman's lifetime warranty holds true

[DREADNOUGHT78]

Good grab!

awesome! you need to bring up the motor as high as possible to reduce wear on the belts. we normally align within 1/16-1/8 on the sheave flats, but just AWESOME!

[jaustin612]

awesome find man, very retro. Clean it up, see how the motor works and if it needs some work. Old machinery like that seems pretty easy to work on.

Nice score!

WTF are people thinking letting a deal like that sit around?

[Q]

Nice!

[ironman5669]

[WTSGDYBBR]

Its not an HVAC unit, it would take years to wear out the belt on that thing and are cheap to replace.

Get thee here:
Old Woodworking Machines
And have fun. You can probably find that model drill press listed. Be careful though, the old machinery gets addicting really quick.
