Over the weekend, I found and bought a vintage Craftsman 150 drill press on craigslist. The best I can figure out, it was built around 1965 or 1966. Came with a Craftsman drill press vise of the same era. Aside from the plastic knobs, there's not another plastic part on this thing. Still has the original 1/2 HP motor, with an info plate on the motor that literally says "Manufactured In The United States Of America". How cool and rare is that anymore! The 3 main parts are made of cast iron, so it is quite heavy. I shined up the chrome on the feed handle, and cleaned up the chuck. I'm already putting it to use, but after the Jeep is done and on the road, I plan to do a full restoration on it.
