Title: New to me Drill Press
Post by: Billwood437@gmail.com on July 12, 2021, 08:45:49 AM

Picked up this MSC 20" drill press at auction. Finally got it home but not going to fit through my garage door on the truck. Ended up using a block and tackle hanging from a tree limb. In the garage now waiting to go to its final spot.  Quite a beast for my home shop but I'm excited! Paid 225, I think I got a good deal.

Finally got the press in place and just have to change out the plug. I will post some pictures when I get it running, and the antique it's replacing. I did notice it has an Albrecht keyless chuck, that alone costs more than I paid for the machine.
