I picked up this little jewel south of KC Friday! (another Arthur Bryant's BBQ Lunch!)
The seller replaced this pristine 13-spindle Delta with an even larger 3ph. machine with pneumatic hold-downs. I think I can live with this one! My good fortune at only $575!

Very cool. I wasn't sure what it was until I googled and found out it was a line boring machine. You got a really good deal. Congratulations.

...It drills 13 shelf standard holes (shelf pins) in one drop of the handle!
Nice gloat Chip.....If you keep this up you're gonna have a shop full of nice/great tools! ;)

Hey John! (and curious others!) Its a line-boring machine for drilling shelf pin holes in cabinetry. 13 holes at a time! It has sliding pins at each end to keep holes aligned for longer runs.
I have used a piece of pre-historic 50's 1/4" peg board (almost as hard as phenolic) as my shelf pin guide, with a 1/4" Vix bit for a long long while. I have also used the metal standards with shelf clips. I have even used a 1/4" Forstner bit! But, I just couldn't resist this Delta at that price!

Pretty cool Chip, now you can improve your productivity by drilling 13 holes in the wrong place at once:D.
Great find, congratulations.........Rod.
