New-to-me drill press

[jjfj80]

1959 Atlas drill press model #9325. Picked it up on CL for 60 bucks.
Manufactured by Atlas. I added the third pulley for more/ less speed.
Pretty skookum for 1/3hp.

I had been looking for at least a year for this style press. I was amazed that it came with the stand for that price.
I adapted my table saw mobile base to fit it. It must weigh 90 lbs. with the stand.

good score...

Beautiful. I'd love one like that. And for pocket change. Great score.

This particular model had an old paper Montgomery Ward label on the front of the belt guard when I got it.
No way to save the label when wire brushing the rust off. According to the user manual for the Atlas version,
the base is machined just like the table. This base is not machined, lots of voids in the casting. I think Atlas had a Montgomery Ward pile for marginal castings.
