Have a big bench drill press set up in another building, so I wanted a small unit on my work bench. Found this at auction, asian for sure, little use, chuck key attached. Belt shield bent up, runs ok, for $27 think it will do okay.

$27? I'd say you stole it - legally, of course. :PDT_Armataz_01_37:

Some assembly required. Still quite the bargain. :bravo_2:

Great find and well worth getting it for that price. Congrats!!

The motor is dismounted so I could get the tin shield straightened. Need to rig a light. Same auction, a hand crank drill press went for lots more, without the drill table, and the wall mount brackets messed up, at least it wasn't rusty. Didn't bid because there are 2 in my shop already, in a separate lot, same sale, bought a coffee can full of the bits for a hand crank drill.

Is that an old Enco drill? I have pops which looks a lot like that one in the storage locker with the rest of his stuff. I had zero need for it but it was like new, I bet he never used it 100 times and I just could not leave it behind. Looks like you made a great buy!
