I love these Drill Presses

Today I first used one of these ancient drill presses. These are wonderful. Absolutely precise, no moving of parts like in my new one.

You only need to take care not to get your finger or hand into the transmission belt.

BTW: This drill press was built in 1927!

 

 

This second machine is even better, it has automatic feed. I will probably never use it, but who knows. BTW, the drill you can see in the press has a diameter of 25 mm = 1 inch :-)
