Post Drill $110 Saanich BC

A few pictures. First the post drill. It's heavy. Glad to have the gantry there to unload.

And its table. It has significant gravitas - that bench it's on is 20" tall.

And the miscellaneous other bits. Some air regulators, clamps, nylon and assorted bar and tubing.

Apparently we missed the motherload last week with a lathe and milling machine.

Nice score. That thing is a beast. WAY bigger than my Champion.

Geez! An actual Drill Chuck too!

That thing will be still working after the next two Apocalypse's!

An awesome find ...just to watch & listen to the buzz-click of all those gears when its being turned would be a treat. Personally you couldnt get me to trade one of those machines for a hundred....edited; CNC electronically operated machines...I do like my turn on turn off manual machines LOL

I does have me thinking hard about installing a line shaft in the wood shop. 2HP motor, a bit of reduction to 175-180 RPM and I could drive this and my bandsaw properly.
Here's a terrible old photo of it just before moving our of my old shop.
