need a drill press?

I'd take it but it only goes up to 2-9/16" bits.

You ought to buy if to drill your circuit boards!

Second that! I got to use one about this size at NASA Ames while in a work experience program. Biggest hole I drilled was around 2" dia with a

Yeah, looks familiar. U. of Washington Physics shop has one just like that, I once saw it with a 3" twist drill bit mounted. I was a few minutes marveling on the largest twist drill I'd ever seen, before I noticed that the drill was in a Morse taper reducer... because that drill was too small to fit the drill press without an adapter.

This was one of the tools they kept in the two-story section with the crane.

This one might be big enough for you.

That would be for light, home use.

I wonder if I could get it in my basement?

RogerN

That's easy.

Just drop it on your first floor and it will go to the basement all by itself.

Thats actually a pretty good looking drill press. No weight given, but

Its a small one.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
