Default Re: Show us your drills!

Here's a picture of my drill at home. It's an Elliot progress no.1, which is heavy, old but not such a useful thing - no back gear and a JT6, not MT chuck etc. I turned it into a kind of Frankenstein milling machine with a 3-axis table I found somewhere, a variable-speed DC motor which folks on here helped to fix a while back, and a big truss and additional bearings to keep the new collet chuck from wobbling around. It now has a powered x-feed and some cheap digi-verniers for a DRO.
