New Member: So Please make sure I do it Right.  I bought a Drill Press a few months ago, but I never seen one like this one. I researched a lot Vintage Drill Presses, but found very few that was like it. The one I did find that looked similar, was made by: Jones & Shipman LTD, Leicester, England. I restore Vintage Metal and Woodworking Machines. I will post here, the Drill Press I found, and a set of Drill Presses that I found similar. Hoping some Member of FOG can help me find the True Mfg. I Post my restored machines on a Website called, Vintagemachinery.org, but happen to come across the FOG website that looked similar, so I signed up. So if you see me doing something wrong on your site, Please let me know.  Thank You.

Welcome to the FOG.

That is an interesting and unusual drill press. I don’t know anything about it either but I do have another unusual drill press I’m trying to get rid of.

This is in the NYC area and weighs about 500 pounds. If you have the means to come get it you can have it.

Mike, wish I lived closer to you, but unfortunately, I'm in AZ. It would definitely be a big Project to work on. I've got a floor model Walker-Turner waiting in line to work on after this unknown Drill Press is restored. I wouldn't think you wouldn't  have trouble getting someone to take it off your hands.

Another good source for drill press information is The Garage Journal forum. They're also big on vises of all kinds.
