Old drill presses

[dlane]

Hi all , this old JE Snyder dp followed me home , it’s in pretty rough shape but deserves to live another 110 years

And these came from the same place they were yard art for 35 years, Black one is a Buffalo Forge junior.
The other one could use a 3 step flat belt pulley if anyone has one laying around not being used.

Very cool stuff! What will you do with the drill presses?

I meant to say "with three drill presses".

That looks great. Looks like it’s found a good home!

Drill holes with them?

Well this last one makes 10 drill presses, I like old American iron I guess . I was on a old vise kick and have about 15 of them.

In this pic you can see the bent table raise handle it is cast I would like to straighten it, I’m thinking cherry red heat ,
Also the quill lever arm is broken I’m thinking silicone bronze or silver soldering, I’m guessing it fell over at some point what y’all think ?.

Makes perfect sense. They look great when you're done with them!

I think you need to post more pictures of these old gems. I love looking at old iron and seeing how things were done in the old days.

Cool collection!
