• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest.

I came across some photos of an older restoration of a Swedish Made IMA Drill Machine that I did a few years back. I purchased a new Fiber Gear which was stripped out of it and replaced bearings, cleaned it up, and it now sits in my shop for drilling larger holes. This unit has a Auto Feed Gearbox on it. and the last pic is the finished drillpress.
This Drillpress is 240V 3PH. The plain steel bit with two allen bolts showing is the depth stop Slide/Clamp. This Drill press came from a Caterpillar Dealer's Welding Shop. It was in Service from approx 1965? till 2013.
Now it has a new home in my shop.
