I think Servian were a bit like the Asian importers today, that is they sourced a drill and re-badged it. I know of another like mine the only difference is it has a two speed motor thus eight speeds.
    Black and Decker must of followed suit. If I only had 3 phase, I'd buy it (could be a Indian copy though).

    I shouldn't complain though, I have Sterling Drill press which was made in the same factory as the Richardson's. Really heavy and very sturdy.

    What is it about the round table that you don't like?

    Most square tables have hold down slots where this one does not. That combined with no tilt makes stuff a bit hard some times. On the other hand the head has rise and fall and both it and the table rotate around the column. I have used this in times past to end drill columns etc. I suspect if I got into the motor I could make it two speed but I can't be bothered.

    A wall mounted Waldown? (Only because I haven't worked out how to rotate the image.)

    G'day Bill.

    Its pretty common to see that configuration in repetition turning shops. Its set up to put the chamfer on the ends of bars, so they run through the bar feeder and into the spindle. You put a female cone in the spindle that has a blade that shaves a large chamfer. The chuck is to clamp the bar. Normally a 3 jaw, self centering, looks to me like that one is a 4 jaw.

    Regards Phil.

    On edit, That seems to be a 4 jaw self centering scroll chuck. I guess that would be good for square bars also.

    Ok Chris. My round table has 6 hold down slots (not Tee), rotates on its own axis, rotates around the column, tilts left and right and has a thru hole in the centre about 20mm diam. I have also fitted an angle bracket underneath it to clamp a length of 25mm RHS as a support for long pieces. If it had precise 90 deg locking on all pivots it would be the perfect table for me.

    Dean popped in to visit last night and try out the Waldown. He also tried an Albrecht chuck. I think we have another convert...
