Title: Anyone in MN looking for a fantastic drill press?
Post by: Twilight Fenrir on October 23, 2014, 07:48:08 PM

I was at my local auction-ish place, and they have an amazing Champion Blower & Forge Camelback drill press sitting there! I am sorely tempted to bid on it myself, but I already have a giant antique drill press... and I don't have the room to store it temporarily, much less install it...

I got my press from the same site, for $20. The only person bidding against me was someone looking to turn it into scrap iron. I'd really hate for this baby to go to that fate. So, here's a link for anyone interested!

1st time that I have seen one "OSHA-ized"

some thought went into that cage.

I looked over the site, but didn't see a location.   Minneapolis?   That is just a size smaller than the drill used in the big welding and fab shop here locally.   I totally missed that sale.
