AVEY Drill Press

[David Woodruff]

Please look at the photos in my album. I am looking for a nameplate for the beast or a photo of same to replicate the nameplate. Also would like to locate some info, history, manual, etc. This is one awesome machine. Easily weighs half ton plus. Years ago I had a one of those things on a steel post masquerading as a drill press. Actually gave it to a friend after the AVEY was operational. I have done a little searching on the web and these old "camelback drill presses" are available for $175.00 - $400.00. A good buy. For me it is very enjoyable to restore these old pieces.

Anyone with an idea whereto look for more info, would appreciate a post.
