Selling a Buffalo 2B RPMSter Drill press. Pictures and discussion on it in this previous thread.
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/buffalo-2b-rpmster-282593/
It is currently disconnected from power. It is 220v, 3ph.
The variable speed on it does not work - reeves drive is jammed on it. I thought the spindle runout was excessive, but other people here suggested that the drill bits were more likely bent. I don't know either way.
It still makes holes, it's just too big for what we do.
Weighs about 1 ton. I can load it onto your truck or trailer.
$500 and it's yours! Located in Brownsville, PA. Local pickup only. Don't think it's worth the trouble of shipping it. If it doesn't sell here, or maybe on ebay, it's probably going to the scrap yard.
