I found a vintage drill press by the side of the road with a "FREE" sign on it, so naturally it followed me home. Sometimes I feel like the crazy cat lady of old tools.... but anyway, I figured I should give this machine some love. It's a 14" Delta Drill press, also commonly called the DP-220 for the number on the head casting. This one is from 1942.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
