Me I'm never cruel. I bought my Drill Press from ENCO
but right this minute I do not have their Cat. handy so I can't
give you the model number, but it's the only drill press that they
handle that has the proper speed and a 5" spindle stroke, which is
very important to me and my vast amount of different operations that I
would be using it for. Since I purchased mine approx. 2 years ago
for $243.00, I now think that the spindle speed was 210 RPM
but I purchased a fan motor from TEK Industries that had a top RPM of
only 850 RPM/ After I installed the new motor I had
just the drill press that I wanted, low RPM of 105, with a 5"
stroke. I found a lot of drill presses that had a slow low
speed of 140 RPM but only had a 3 .5" stroke and since there was really
nothing wrong with the operation of my old drill press "BUT" I had
Marion's OK to get the new machine I really went after the one with
the 5" stroke. Oh yeah another I just received a flyer from
ENCO a few months ago the price was the same but not they are offering
free S&H. And another thing when you get it YOU will
have to put it together and I mean OUT IT TOGETHER.

are you going to make us beg to find out which model you have (and
where you bought it)?
Please don't be so cruel. :-)

My "NEW" Drill Press has a low end of 140 rpm and
a 5" stroke, paid $275.00 for it. If it lats as long
as my first Drill Press, over 25 years, it will be a bargain,
somewheres around $12.00 a year or $1.00 per month. Or i
could of sold my old unit for around $100.00 making my new unit costs at
just around less than $200.00. My question is this ,
why buy a cheap drill press when your buying it for the long
run. Lets just say that you bought the cheap one,
resale value $000.00, it is going to reflect in your workmanship,
cheap in crap out, and you are going to lose your customers because of
your workmanship. With a stroke of less than 3"
means that to ream out a 975 your going to have to move the drill table
twice just to be able to get 100% claen up.
My advice is to scrap the idea of the cheap one
and go with the better machine.

RK can double check this, but this appears to be a
good
candidate for occassional clubmaking machine
work:
12 speeds (250, 340, 510, ... 3600 rpm)
1/2 hp; 3.5 amp
2 3/3" spindle stroke; 10" swing
US$99.99 plus shipping and handling $8.99
I found some other bench tops that were as low as
140 rpm, but were
roughly $180 + $55 shipping.
