PM Research Drill Press Built By Joe Higgins
« on: April 22, 2024, 03:27:50 pm »
I won this in an auction back in 2021 but never published a video until now.

Joe Higgins made this into a great display and demonstrator piece.
He made a nice wood base for it and installed an electric motor and push button switch.

Enjoy,

Gil

Wonderful job on that build. Also, a great job on making the base power unit to display its operational abilities.

What a fun video! Excellent workmanship and a clever display.  :D

I've always wanted to build one of the PM machine tools, but I have too many projects waiting on me already.

Thanks for posting, Gil!

Very nice drill press and display.  A sweet example of the machinists art.

Thanks for the eye-candy,
