Sensitive drill press sigourney pratt & whitney m-100
Here's a super nice, USA made, all cast iron, sensitive drill press by Sigourney.
This benchtop unit is for drilling small holes very accurately in things like pc boards, carburetor jets, model railroad parts, etc.
Model M-100, serial A2234, sold through pratt & Whitney. Age unknown, probably 1960's.
This model is a 3 speed (belt drive) and is very smooth running. Don't know the actual speeds-I suppose you could do the calculations based on the pulley sizes.
Table size is 8-1/2' x 9-3/4".
Minimum height to table is 4-1/2". Maximum height to table 7-1/4"
Motor is built in to the cast column, Horsepower unknown. I can't determine the speeds easily. Plus or minus 10k rpm I imagine.
Drill comes with a nice little 0" - 1/4' jacobs model 1A chuck with key. This is a tapered back chuck.
This has always been in the high desert southwest. Could stand an hour or so with a rag and some WD-40. All in all, a very, very nice example that you could put to work almost immediately.
This is an item that is has to go freight (by truck) or be picked up here locally in the Albuquerque area. I encourage local pickup and can load on to anything you've got. Weight is about 175 lb. It will need to be crated to protect it.
There is NO CHARGE to crate and load.
