One of these days I'm going to have to put a pic of the Cincinnati
Bickford 28" Super Service drill press I traded for. It's 3100lbs, #4
Morse taper, low of 60rpm, power feed, gear drive, 7 1/2HP 3phase,
etc. Sweet is all I can say about it. :-)

I'm still ****ed at the kid. He was at an auction where they had a radial
arm drill with a six foot arm. Went for $160. He said thought he should bid
after it was over.

Ouch. At that price it would be worth it even if you had to pay
riggers (likely with a drill that size).

I used a 4' arm 13" column American Hole Wizard radial drill at my
former job. It was sweet. I'd love one now if the price was right
(though I'd have to add on to the shop to make it fit).


Need an American Continental? 8' arm?


That's more than a bit big for me. I know a guy who really wants a
radial drill but shipping would be a killer for something that size.



Its only 12' high and about 13' long.


and probably weighs about 20,000 lbs. :-)
