I hope that the drill bits are of the decent kind.


Helluva deal if they're as good as they look!

Couple weeks ago I picked up a 1/2" bit labeled "union twist drill
Canada" in very good condition for $2.00. Nearly needed help to put it
in the trunk of the car. The bench top drill press and electric motor
attached to it were heavy. The motor drives the step pulley on the
spindle over idler pulleys where the belt changes from vertical to
horizontal. Feed is by a lever over the top carrying a bearing between
collars on the half inch diameter spindle. The chuck is the old type
keyless chuck where the spindle pushes against the back of the jaws.
No identifying marks on the drill press although the 1/4 HP motor was
made by Hoover.
