<p>[QUOTE="RustyDysty, post: 9731785, member: 85149"]FB marketplace can be a curse but it can be awesome sometimes. Whatever algorithm they use to suggest items showed me a drill press at exactly the right time. The guy had it listed for an hour when I saw it and I was the first to physically see it in person. Had I not bought it he had 3 different buyers from out of state to come get it if I didn't buy it. I only found one clue to its origin from the almighty Google. I love unique items and this fits the bill as possibly one of the first electric drill presses that's self contained and not run off a flat belt. The disc at the top of the quill is its best feature as there is a leather wheel driven by the motor that slides in or out for a variable speed. Originally it was DC powered but thankfully the guy I bought it from made an inverter to run off AC.
