    Default Help me identify this Town radial arm drill model please

    Hi,

    I have this Town radial arm drill that I have just finished returning from the dead. It is now up and running but I am missing something from the auto-feed clutch. It has an 11" column and 36" of long travel, and a #4 morse taper. It was originally flat belt drive, I have added the electric motor drive setup. It has Town cast into the arm, a plate showing spindle speeds, serial number (2259) and a plate from Mcphersons who originally sold it. I cannot find any model number identification.
    If I can find out the model number for this drill maybe I will be able to track down some literature and figure out what's missing. I am not even sure if it's a Town Woodhouse or a Frederick Town unit or what the difference was. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    By the looks of it I would have to say it is a F Towns and sons model... Does not look to be modern enough to be a Town Woodhouse...
    Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.
