Picked up a new drill press

[fried1765]

Getting it off the trailer was a bit of a challenge. I got stuck with the bucket up on the bobcat, didn't know if I could actually lift it, if it fell over would it take me with it? Got stuck a few times hitting the metal bar sticking up on the bottom of the bucket, and i could barely get it high enough to clear the trailer. I didn't want to drag it over and then have it swinging back at me. It was a bit of a terrifying moment but sure enough, I got it to the ground, and went strait for the beer. I don't know how much it weighs but it was near tipping.

I am sure it will work just fine. 30 years ago I bought a 208/230V Clausing.
An exceptionally fine piece of machinery, but I use it very rarely.
I probably should sell it at this point in my life,.... but it is such a magnificent looker.

I can picture my wife's face when I pull up with that on the trailer. I don't think i'd be able to come inside for days.

Wow! Only thing I could think upon seeing those pictures, is the first thing I
would build is some overhead protection for the Bobcat!

Everything freshly lubed, belts adjusted, table sanded and cleaned, and it's off to the races!

Bobcat is a 1970 M600 I bought for $2500 last year and has been absolute invaluable in my garage build: https://i.imgur.com/CRR8SML.mp4
