I dont' think so, but they make a heck of a drill. I had one a while
ago. Ii weighed around 2500". Lot of iron in it. Weighed almost as
much as my Dad's radial drill.

I looked at one today, someone was selling it. What an amazing
machine. I wish I had space for it. Pictures are he

This machine probably weighs 1,300 lbs or so.

If I get the price down to $200 or so, maybe I will reconsider.

The only Fosdick we ever interfaced with had a MT3 taper spindle and quite a
heavy duty quill. I call those machines, and many of the others in their
class WWII machines since they were usually made during that time period AND
survived until today.

Some other brands that were once made huge and impressive:

Buffalo
Cincinnati Bickford
Clausing
Daytons
Delta Rockwell (?)
Enco
Ibarmia
Juaristi
Manhattan Supply
Palmgren
Republic Lagoon
Rockford
Solberga (Willis Solberga now?)
Sterlitamak
Summit
Willis
Wisconsin

Almost any radial arm drill press made before 1975...

Not all drill press-only machines, but all quite useful at times for big
manual drilling jobs.

Looks like a smaller version of the drill I had. Mine was a 24"
Drill. It was big. MT3, which is why I got rid of it. Nothing wrong
with MT3, but my other press was MT4, and so is Dad's. Common tooling
is nice.

It is nice to have a daddy with a MT4 drill press.

The only drill my Dad has is a 1/4" handheld drill. He is not using it
much.

Anyway, I would imagine that much of your time is spend with reducing
Morse adaptors. Want a MT4 to MT1 adaptor?

Hmm? We both have MT4. Couple of good Jacob's chucks with MT4
shank. We have some taper shank drills, but pretty random (and big,
2"+).

Yes, it would take me three adapters to that now. Don't know that I'd ever
run that small a drill in my radial arm unit but at least I could.

My dad's machine shop had a very similar drill. Drilled thousands of 1"
holes in 1" plate with that unit. For the base of Padeyes that we welded on
to ships that were being scrapped. weld on the padeye to the deck, hook up
a crane and cut deck out of ship. Load holds with scrap metal, replace deck
and weld it closed. Tow boat to Japan. Late 1950's. Sack a bunch of
bases, and turn on the coolent and autofeed the drill.

While its cool, neat, amazing, boffo, astounding and really really far
out maaan...why would you but it? Its ****ing HUGE.

Now do you normally run 3" bits in your shop?

I dont. So stick with either my mills, or the 1hp Delta drill press.

geez - why is it that I can't find a guy like you out here on the left coast
to take this darned Gallmeyer and Livingston universal grinder - it has all
those ajectives also, and you (or your west coast clone) can have it at your
price......

or this burgmaster 6 spindle drill press at about the same price....
