arftist Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Unfortunately, like most anything, the value is best determined between the seller and the buyer. Put another way, a freind has a very similar if not larger machine laying in his yard, very complete, which he would love to have go to a good home for free. I would take it but for the several similar ones I already own. Don't recall ever paying more than a hundred dollars for one, though some one did a nice job coupling an old truck transmission to drive your drill press. Now the drill bits on the other hand, there's some value to them. Bear in mind, I live in an area still rich with the detritus of the industrial revolution, though vanishing quickly. To one not so well equipped, that drill press, useful as it still is, could be worth a few hundred, but since I've no idea where you are located, I can't be more helpful, other than to tell you that most metal-workers worth their salt should have one.

Is this freebie on the west coast ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingstwo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I was wondering if you still have the drill bits for sale, I just bought a Canedy Otto drill press ( for right at $100) and would be very interested in any or all of the drill bits, depending on price.

Billingstwo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I live in South West Missouri, so not close at all but I would pay for shipping depending on what you are willing to part with. My Canedy Otto drill takes a #4 MT, what are the tapers on your drills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric sprado Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Egad! I don't know. How does one tell the difference between tapers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
