Most mechanics, while
appreciating the value of the radial drill press in the
large shop, and realizing what a help such a tool on a
smaller scale would be in the small experimental shop, look
upon its construction as beyond the scope and capacity of
the small shop. Such is not the case, however, as a glance
at the accompanying drawings will prove. In this design, the
machine work necessary has been reduced to the minimum, and
all of it is with in the capacity of a shop equipped with a
good lathe. A drill press of this type is capable of a much
wider range of work than the ordinary post drills and bench
drill presses found in the small shop. As it can be swung
back against the wall when not in use, it can be used where
bench room is limited; it will drill holes anywhere within a
38-in. radius from the pivot bar, and thus is of special
advantage on sheet-metal work, on heavy jobs that cannot be
handled easily on account of their weight, and where holes
must be drilled in the center of pieces of large diameter.
