It will be but I need to make the part that goes on it first.
The thing was cheaply made in the standards of the 40' and 50's to make it affordable for the average person in the middle class bracket.
I intend to remedy some of that.
Even then it is of a much higher quality than some of today's junk
The cast iron is very good quality.
The machine is creepy dangerous in today standards.
In the drill press position just one little turn or bump of the locking lever can send the whole motor assembly crashing down.
I grew up around huge open flat belts running saw mills and other milling equipment so it doesn't bother me.
