Bronco Drill Press?

[Derek Wise]

Morning folks,

I've been keeping my eye on Craigslist for a used drill press. I just came across this one and have never heard of this brand before, can anyone shed some light on it? Bronco model 14-1258, says it's a 12-speed, 5/8" chuck, made in Taiwan.

But, I can't find anything about this tool online. My first thought is that it was maybe a Harbor Freight brand, but no luck there (or maybe that is lucky...). Searches for the model number come up with nothing.

Anybody know anything?

Probably a generic drillpress. made in Taiwan is most likely a little better then a modern made in China one. There will be not parts available. Make sure the quill splines and drive pulley are in good shape. Other then that not much to go wrong.
