Ultimately its worth what someone wants to pay to obtain it. Stick it on ebay and find out?
in a nutshell just the same as cast iron circular saws that come up with a daft price tagUltimately its worth what someone wants to pay to obtain it. Stick it on ebay and find out?
The table will almost certainly be rack/pinion so will rise and fall at the crank of a handle. The head is also likely to do the same.would you fancy moving the table on that to drill small holes its similar to using a large lathe on small jobs that's why i have a large lathe and a small myford .best of both worlds
as long as you don't get heavy handed feeding a drill bit in 1/6 th of an inch or number drills down to no 60 . horses for coursesThe table will almost certainly be rack/pinion so will rise and fall at the crank of a handle. The head is also likely to do the same.
My Arboga has these features and they are wonderful
Surely you would feed with the quill?as long as you don't get heavy handed feeding a drill bit in 1/6 th of an inch horses for courses

That’s a lovely drill.Here is a pic of an older Startrite, that is definitely an re-badged Arboga or a clone as it is very similar to mine.

In my opinion Arboga drills are one of the best. I wanted one for years but they sell for a premium but I eventually got one and long story short I ended up getting refunded so it cost me nothingThat’s a lovely drill.
It's a big lump with good potential. If I was buying it I would go £300 .
It's coming to the end of season for my buying. Although I have got three items still to collect@spencers427 is ill, never noted for turning a bargain down
