@legendhunter47 It was a piece of 2x3 CR steel, we were drilling ports to be tapped for a hydraulic manifold. The drill has a 2HP motor, the belts are lightly tensioned so they slip of something catches otherwise it has the power to break large drill bits or make a mess of things...
@andrewsengineering whats the make, model and year of your machine here, i notice the belts are shorter than the other drill presses shown on you tube
@legendhunter47 It's made by Superior Machine Co., not sure of the year but it dates back to when line shafts were used. The original flat belt pulleys were removed and V belt pulleys installed. The reason my belts are shorter is because the power unit stands about 3 ft off the floor.
what thickness of metal was you drilling? and whats the HP on this sweet old beauty
