Hey..that looks like a pretty nice drill! Thanks for the Link!!

It does -- with the assumption that it needs three phase power,
but even the largest of them does not have the spindle center to column
clearance Joe needs. The biggest (dimension 'D') is:

15.75" (400mm)

unless they could come up with a special mounting system for the head
and a custom table.

Or -- perhaps Joe could make a multi-drill head for it which
added about a 5" offset to the working spindles -- perhaps with feelers
back to the column to prevent it from rotating around the main machine's
spindle.

And -- of course they leave off the spec which would tell me
that *I* could not get one -- the price. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
