The kid got me a drill press for my birthday...

[tattoomike68]

I was shocked when I saw it. He got it at an auction in Seattle for $75

Its huge and is about 800 pounds. I cant use the one head till I swap out the 3 phase motor. It stands 84" tall so I would have to take the heads off to get it into the garage.

Its quiet and smooth running, the last drillpress I will ever need.

$75? :bow:

A couple of weeks ago I was at an auction and watched Powermatic drill presses bring $600 each. Your kid got a DEAL!

You might consider getting a VFD phase converter for the one head and use it as a speed control as well. Just an idea.

He is a great kid, He fixes stuff I cant fix every time he comes over. I wish I could rent him out.

The dogs name is Thor, that one was his dog, when he came with his two dogs and my 3 dogs I had a pack of them running around.

It was funny I let the dogs say hello then they all went and pooped in the front yard at the same time, 5 pooping dogs messing in my front yard. It was time to get a shovel. :big:

I'll give him my debit card and turn him loose!
