Asking price is $325 OBO.

Two speed/sensitive drill press manufactured by Adolph Muehlmatt. Mr. Muehlmatt designed and started manufacturing these drill presses about 1920, he was awarded a patent in 1924 and continued production up until his death in 1937. This press was manufactured BEFORE The Hamilton Tool Company purchased Adolph Muehlmatt's business interests in 1937. See the lack of Hamilton name on the badge.

The press is missing the top handle for raising and lowering the head, the rear guard and will require a complete refurbishing. The wiring is long past plugging in. The spindle and motor shaft turn freely. Note the unusual work light. I have not been able to identify the model.
Master Motor is 1/6 hp 1725. The machine weighs 135lbs.

Additional photos will be supplied upon request.

I prefer pick up in Rochester NY.

Asking price is $325 OBO. Local pick up or possibly a meet up.

"The wiring is long past plugging in."

I replaced the power cord and operated the drill press. She runs beautifully!

A short video can be sent upon request.

Adolph's DP is cleaning up nicely and thanks to a knowledgeable friend I now know the press has two tables. A 5.25" dia. table nests under/inside to top table.
