When I was at the gas plant they had a small Arboga radial drill, one of the nicest machines I've used. I lust after one again.

I owned one of these Arboga gear head drill press for a while, I paid $200 for it Filthy, big holes drilled in the platten but fully functional.
Sold it for $900 when i closed the shop and downsized.

Before that I had the Tiawanese knock off version for many years.
I hung off of that one since I was 16.
I ended up buying it from the German fellow who owned the machine shop I worked at and sold that one when the Arboga came along

I will be selling one Arboga soon as I have two.

My baby radial is over 2000 lbs, I am quite sure of that - especially if one counts the box under it. It is like 900mm arm length. I am a bit struggling finding projects suitable for it - I need something that is too big for the mill to handle. Like say an engine or a large flange type project.

I can’t really justify getting one of these for work, but lord do they ever look great.

They are a very nice drill. I passed on one because the feed gear was broken. Picked up a nice Mas VR2.
