I was cleaning up some files and ran across this pic, so I thought I'd share. It belongs to a buddy of mine up the road. 5HP 3-phase 440v, automatic feed in 2-axis, 2 on-board coolant pumps, 8,500 lbs. DOM is around 1950. It'll accept bits up to about 2.5" in diameter and the runout is somewhere in the neighborhood of none. Enjoy!

Do they make a benchtop model?

Looks more like a stripped down mill than a drillpress!
