neighbour was clearing out his dad's shed, asked me if i wanted some manky old drills.
said why not if no good can probably save chucks and other bits.
had been sat in corner for years he didn't know where they came from or why his dad had them as never moved since put in shed.

quick clean and plugged them in both work fine no play/ noise.
when i get time will clean them up fully.
first need to sort out south bend model c 9" just visible in pic 2.
that's now 5 drill press's in shop, along with 2 lathe's sander's welder's etc getting crowded.

plus had guy from work give me a load of mt3-2 adaptors inc extension ones.
some 2-1 sleeves and some mt drill arbor's which i can use on southbend.
and some mt3 blank end arbors.
just got surface rust.
about 40 items in total.

also got my eye on a myford turret stock lathe, be ideal for when im making adaptors for bikes i build, save changing chuck.

glad my wife is so understanding, say's if we can afford it you can get it.
 
That drill press in the first pic looks just like mine.
 
Wow, Nice finds. Congrats! :applause 2:

would say so, had first date when 11 at school, now hitting 50 and got 6 kids.
works both ways she loves cross stitch so let her get what she wants.
of course after kids have been sorted.
