This is an early 50s Delta Homecraft 11” drill press that has been completely restored to new condition.  By that I mean that every part: nuts, bolts, washers, quill assembly, castings, bearings, etc. Were  disassembled, de-rusted, lubed and reassembled.  The castings were sandblasted down to bare metal and repainted.  It retains the original pulley cover badge and serial number tag.  The motor is a replacement Westinghouse 1/4 HP motor.  These presses originally came with 1/4 or 1/3 HP motors, tho this motor is not original to the press. The motor disassembled, cleaned, lubed and repainted.  It has bronze sleeves for the shaft and they were in excellent condition - the motor alone is nearly silent when running.

This is a 70+ year old machine in new condition.  Head on down to the local box store and see what they want for a modern 11” press w plastic components and ask yourself if it will be running in 70+ years.  Then come take a look at this one.  It will be in my shop till sold and you’re welcome to come test drive it before buying.

Delivery:  I get to the KC metro area at least monthly to visit grand kids and can arrange delivery or pick-up there.

Delivery II:  I also visit a daughter in the Colorado Springs/Denver area quarterly(ish) and can arrange delivery/pick-up there.  Anywhere along or near I-70 between KC and Denver is also a possibility.
