That would be sweet, I used one a few times, I had to drill a 4 inch hole through a 1 inch piece of plate one time, that puppy cut through like butter.

Wow - $1675 in 1918!!!! That's one heck of a drill press!!!

i've got access to a similar one to that at work. . as long as the bits are sharp, it will drill real good. 2" holes through 2" plate nicely. .

Holy cow, someone STOLE that thing for $500. Oh, how I long for a workshop large enough to consider buying tools like that!

A company I used to work for threw away one bigger than that. It was 12' tall with a base of 8'X8' or so. 16 spd with power feed. It was made during WW2. They decided it wasn't needed anymore. No employee's wanted it. So we (maintenance) had to break it down and throw it into a 30 yard rolloff box.
