I can remember reading a thread over in the PM Deckel forum about the table ribbing. Here is something I found but I think there is more. I can recall Don"Milicron"Thomas having his usual fair bit to say. He doesn't pipe up in this thread. I'll keep looking.
Stripes on Deckel Tables
Found a bit more discussion on PM

Like i mentioned earlier Bob, It is pretty standard on woodworking machines. My thicknesser/jointer has it, but where i used to work i think every machine with a cast table had it- Altendorf, L'vincible spindle, thicknesser, jointer, bandsaw, multiborer......even the fairly new SCM machines at tafe had it too.

Yes Ewan, the woodies have it covered. Even my two ULMIA picture framer's mitre saws have fluted cast iron bases. The way the flutes are cut is interesting, they run at right angles to the rear upstand on the base and look like the work of a mill not a planer.

I would have said planer for what i have seen.....It makes sense to cut friction for timber, but what advantage would it have on a metal machine?
Oddly, my Felder is ground with what seems to be about a 400 dia cup wheel. I think it is the only machine i have seen without the ridges
Edit: ok, so i just read some more of the PM link...a small part of my brain gets it, but i still don't see how it would be better than a flat ground table. Although the lines do look kinda neat and part of me likes the Aesthetics, the other part of me thinks about putting a thin parallel on the table and running into trouble.

Can you guys offer any information on this Waldown 2M drill press
Hi all,
I have recently acquired a Waldown Drill Press Type 2M, and to be honest I don't really know too much about it, but from the look of it, I am very happy with the construction of it.

I have started a post here:
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f163/w...-press-165096/
and was hoping you guys might be able to help with some info about this drill press:
* Approximate manufacture date
* Confirm what is original and what has been added
* Give some advice on tune up, things to check before putting it into service
Obviously I don't want to hijack another person's post, so I hope you won't mind jumping across with the link.
Cheers,
Camo

servian drill press
Chris Parks,
You are correct, servian, the company were situated in Cosgrove road Enfield, [next suburb to Belfield] I have been there many years ago, a reasonable sized warehouse full of machine tools.
A toolmaker that did the odd job for me had two Servian lathes that he spoke highly of. The building is still; there but not the company.
Regards
Ted
