My favorite forum at the FBBO
I work part time for a trucking outfit
I needed a drill press and I found this walker turner bench model in a scrap steel yard
Cost me fifty dollars
Told my boss he could reimburse me when I got it up and running
It needed a motor and was frozen solid
A can of penetrating oil and two hours later I had it free
The mechanic I work with thought I was nuts and the press belonged in the scrap pile
Boss had his doubts as well
I explained that press was gold and that it was pre WW 2
A time when we made quality
I asked them if they thought the HF press would still be drill holes seventy years later
Works like a charm
