I also bought a lathe a few years later which is a total piece of cheese. One project and the drive needs to be rebuilt.Steve Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-58727425261433309392019-12-20T10:49:33.723-08:002019-12-20T10:49:33.723-08:00Steve,

It took it awhile for it to make it to AZ and the desert. The first 15/20 or so years were spent in my shop in Houston, TX after that, while I was trying to keep beans and tortillas on the table and flying over most of the world, it was stored in a friends barn outside Fort Worth, TX. for 10 or so years before being rescued to the desert a couple years after we moved to Tucson. It earned its rust :-). <br /><br />BTW, it is the only power tool from the Houston shop that is still in use, a pretty good testament to how well it was made. I still have and use most of the hand tools that were rescued from the barn.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-7282851829135253562019-12-20T08:48:59.498-08:002019-12-20T08:48:59.498-08:00If that's a Delta drill press, I have had the ...If that's a Delta drill press, I have had the same one for about 30 years. The odd thing is that yours is coated with rust in Arizona while mine is pretty clean with no rust in a somewhat damp Connecticut basement. Go figure.Steve Dnoreply@blogger.com
