New Old Drill Press Purchase

IMG_2848.jpg I've been slowly getting my downstairs work shop cobbled together. I've never owned a drill press and I thought that I would look around for one for the shop. After searching my local Marketplace, I stumbled upon the vintage Craftsman 150 floor press about 10 miles from my home.

I checked out the old girl yesterday. The press is good condition for its age (1950's) and the price was right. She served her first and second owners for 30 years each. I hope that I get as good of service out her myself.

I'll probably polish her up a bit. Haven't decided if I'm going to give her a new coat of paint.
