Gonna make this fast. I'm alive and well and busy as hell. WIll take time later to share what has been going on with me this last year. Just wanted to show off our new toy. I found it on eBay and had a couple local guys who work for Skanska drive to Roanoke Va and pick it up, bring it back and install it. It's a radial arm drill, 12" column, 4' arm. 5 hp spindle motor, 3 hp arm elevation motor. Rated to drill a 2" hole in mild steel. Wanted to take a lot of the drilling load off our CNC machines. A lot of stuff we make needs a big hole put in it as the initial step, we can drill with this instead of drilling on a lathe or mill. And this bad boy WILL put a hole in something right quick now!
