My New SB 14

[HMF]

Hey Guys,

I picked up this South Bend Drill Press and received it in a couple boxes the other day and reassembled it.
It has the belt guard, but I have not attached it as yet. Or the spindle. I have a motor from another SB that I am installing.

Dave,

Really wanted a floor model, but it wasn't in the cards, so I took what I could get. I can always turn down a column in the future, add a different make base and have a floor model.

Bench space is in short supply in my tiny shop- so is floor slace for that matter!

Best,


Nelson
