A shortcut would be very helpfull ;-) The label
says Stokvis Rotterdam, but I somehow have the idea it's UK or US made.

Tool post is a UK pattern rather than US but other than that I have no idea. It looks a bit lightweight- rather long & thin and nothing much to stop it twisting.

Lists Atelier-Stokvis as a known manufacturer. Maybe you should try contacting the site owner.

I think Stokvis is a pretty common Dutch/Flemish name. I the early 80's I had dealings with a Belgian firm by the name that was a machinery importer.
(I remember as if it were yesterday [except I feel better now] our much relieved agent Yves taking me out to lunch after the sorry tale was finally signed off by Ford, and then having to attempt to get my hire car back to Brussels airport in one piece.)

I expect it's fairly large, and thus stiffer than it looks.

Comparison permitted, the antique Stokvis "Imperator" tabletop drillpress I have is a tough beast. So heavy that I had to dismantle it to get it up on the bench. 150 Euro's is almost scrapp iron priced ;-) Dirk
