    This is an antique(?) Drill Press I found at an estate sale and restored. It has a two-speed motor and works perfectly! However, I have not been able to identify a manufacturer. Photo #3 shows all the markings. I am assuming the Manufactured Logo is the intertwined "LF", but I haven't found anything remotely similar.

      Nice work cleaning it all up, however that motor doesn't look "antique" to me at all...? Of course it could have been replaced...??

      Yeah, I think the press may have originally had a manual drive system and was later retrofitted with the motor, as the mounting setup appears to be homemade.

      The base is either incorrect or missing something. And the handle is strange
