New Old Drill Press

[Blue Eyed Devil]

Just won this at auction Friday. Vintage Barnes industrial drill press. It's a monster! 20" throw, coolant pump, etc. Can't wait to get it back to the shop, cleaned up and back in service!

Jeez BED, you could bore an engine with that.

Yeah it's a beast for sure. 3 phase motor. Power feed up and down. Not much it couldn't drill. Rigger said the weight was right around 1500lbs., so once it is in place it will be staying there! All the original brass tags and stuff are still on it. Once I get it cleaned up and in place I will post some more pics.

What're your plans for powering it? ...assuming its going in a home shop and not another industrial location.
