July 15, 201411 yr Greetings Matto, Great lookin bench top drill... I have restored many post drills and use them a lot. Enclosed pictures of 2 bench tops I made up for a friend to use when he does demos.. Great for kids to keep them busy.. Green one a cole ( my favorite ) mounted with an old pulley for a base.. The other is a Champion 108 top section with a custom mount . Lots of fun... Background a Champion just finished... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim
July 15, 201411 yr Author Never thought about mounting one of my post drills that way. I like it. My demo one fits into a receiver on my table. I can't wait to get this one rebuilt. It is the first I have seen like it and the first in my collection.
