Last year a friend offer me a lead to a large drill press. A Buffalo Forge Model #21 drill press. I took him up on it and brought it home. The darn thing must weigh about 1,000lbs. I got it stood up in the garge. It's very clean for it's age. The only problem was that it has a 1hp 3ph motor and a couple of broken teeth on the miter gears that drive the spindle. I'm in the process of replacing the motor with a 1hp DC motor from a tread mill. I'm to the point of designing a bracket to hold the motor right now.
