Craftsman Drill Press

[CluelessNewB]

Take a look at this 1969 Craftsman catalog on the Vintage Machinery web site. It shows a double shafted motor on a similar drill press (page 36). Many Craftsman DP's came without motors so that's another possibility.

I have a 70's vintage Craftsman radial arm saw that has a dual shaft motor. The rear shaft had a small hand activated brake to slow down the spindle after the motor was shut off.
Maybe something similar was included on the drill presses?

I have a Craftsman 10" RAS and it has a dual end shaft. They all do, for accessories. Usually a drill chuck but tons exist.
