There was some discussion about small radial drills a while ago- here's another that I haven't seen before:



I don't know the manufacturer, but I'm guessing it's older belt driven machine that has been updated with a motor driven head.

That looks really useful, and a nice size to replace a standard floor model DP.

Yet another twist on the basic idea. Neat one, Andy.

The head resembles (to me) the Walker/Turner-Delta radials. Perhaps it was grafted onto another base. Certainly is unusual.

Tom, yes, I do think the head is a good deal newer than the rest of the machine. Looks like Rockwell, Delta, Walker-Turner, ect., though I am not sharp enough on them to make a positive ID. I don't recognize the rest of the machine either- I have seen a few old radials of this size, but never one quite like this.

Andy

That's neat! That sure looks like an older model Walker Turner head to me. The rest of the machine doesn't look heavy duty enough to have been from something larger. The arm, table, table crank, and support aren't that sturdy. It looks like something that Walker Turner would make. Is it an obscure model that we're not familiar with?

Who owns it, Andy? Are you trying to buy it?

Andy,
My vote wold be for a walker turner.. here's some pics of a newer model but the spindle assembly is identical..

Of course it could be a cannedy otto to as they made strange contraptions like that to.. Years ago I worked in a shop that had two of them critters.. I can't remember the manufacture but if memory serves they were no# 2 morse taper and quite popular with the fab guys.. They were mounted on skids and they were moved about the shop with a fork lift..
Hope this helps
Stay safe

It is at HGR. I like it, but am not going to buy it.
With the exception of the head, the drill is built a good deal heavier than a Walker-Turner radial drill, and is built in an older style. The head looks like it came off of a Walker-Turner gang drill, since it has the column sticking up through it (though the standard drill presses may have been built that way also).
Cincinnati, Candey-Otto, and American all built small, ~2 foot arm radial drills, but they are rare today (and this one doesn't look like any of them).
There is also the Zewo, which was discussed in this thread a while ago:
