Drill Press Part 1

Picked up a new project today off of Craigslist, a Walker Turner 1200. From what information I can find it was built around 1948-1949.


The good:
  • It was cheap.
  • The bearings feel good with no play.
  • It runs
  • It has a nice large base
  • The table is relatively undamaged


The bad:
  • No low speed
  • The belt cover is missing
  • The quill handles are missing
  • The depth stop is missing


I have it mostly apart now and plan not to fully restore it but make it functionally sound as possible. Its my first drill press and I don't know much about them so it should be fun
