Looking for X Y table. Cross slide

I have this Jacob 150, I have had it sitting on a shelf for some time and just two days ago mounted it on my IMA Drillpress.

If you are willing to make an offer on it, I definitely would consider moving it along with shipping. (providing we agree on offer?)

Thank you,
 
I'm pretty sure that SShep71 was asking how much travel do you need on each axis. Like 4 inch by 3 inch?

This is just for a general shop drill. It's just easier to center a drill. 4 to 8" travel is fine. We do a lot of equipment repair & need something heavy. Thanks.
 
I have a Tsudakoma Cross/rotary, but it is only a 12x12 table with only a few inches of travel. It is too small for what you describe.

Overkill, and not for sale, but you MIGHT do as I am, just on a smaller scale.

To wit.. repurposing a B&S # 1 "Universal" milling-machine table as a positioner for my drillpress. That brings X, Y and a decent amount of swivel. The drillpress already has rack & pinion vertical (Z axis).

Travel is a 3 or 4 times your figure, longest axis, about the same, shortest.

Neither light, nor low-profile, (!!!) but capable of mounting serious vises - more than one at a go - and over a longish table.

The "host" is an Alzmetall AB5/S 7 HP column drill, early 1950's, with the big rectangular table, not the round one, so it can "just deal with that", mass-wise vs already weighing about 4,400 lbs, Avoir.

Find you a parted-out mill about half that B&S # 1 size, (old lineshaft machine) take X & Y, both, off the knee, fab a mount, and you are close to "ready" for whatever you have to deal with at loads a typical third-party slide cannot manage nearly as well.

"Mill-drill"? No. Not at all. May or may not add a DRO in due course, but NO plans to MILL with it. I have a mill.

This is for MANUAL positioning, lock it, then do ignorant down the hole drilling, not for milling and "side loads".
