Hi List members-
About 20 years ago I saw what looked like a regular sized floor mount drill
press with one head, except it had a turret with 3-4 spindles on it. (It was
at a liquidation sale for an old orthotics facility)
I didn't notice the make or model, but I'm wondering if any of you might
know of such a machine. It is not a heavy duty/size industrial type
machine... rather, it's more of what you'd expect to see in a home workshop
except for the turret feature. The multiple spindles let you keep commonly
used drills chucked and ready for use. (You just move the turret into
position for power from the head to use that bit)
If you have seen this style a turret drill press, (floor or bench mount)
and can give me the manufacturer's name (and model #), I'd be very
appreciative!
Thank you!
