On the weekend we made a trip to Adelaide to catch up with the family post vintage. I finally picked up the Waldon (?) Drill Press I won in an EBay auction. The bidding was brisk. Well, the one bid was brisk anyway.
It is my impression that this drill consists of a Waldon Head attached to the rest of a drill press of a different type. The head is a different tone of green to the rest and there is a machined adaptor sleeve at the top of the column. The drill was advertised as a Pedestal Drill, but I think it is a bench top drill press, which is now taller because of the adaptor sleeve.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Drill Press as I received it except the motor has been removed.
That awful belt guard and brackets have been removed. It appears to be a Waldon No. 1.
The Column Adaptor in Situ.
The same with the head removed
The Adaptor sitting upside down next to the column. The column measures 79.95mm diameter while the diameter of the top of the adaptor measures 63.46mm.
