My new tool shop project

[chrisinhouston]

First of all, I love shop tools. And for many years I wanted a drill press for the occasional project that needs one. Anyway, I bought this from a guy while I was in Atlanta and paid about $50 for it. It's a full size fairly old model Delta one and in need of a little work. I've been brushing off the rust and applying some much needed oil. The motor may need new capacitors as it just sits and hums when you turn it on until you grab the pulley and give it a spin (kind of unnerving as you imagine your fingers getting sucked into the v-belt). It ani't fancy and has no laser guided lights or anything so sissified and it is heavy as hell. But I like it.
