How much does a four spindle drill weigh?

[AndyStobbs]

Not a herbert, but similar. Any ideas?

Looks like that might be a Pollard? No idea as to exact weight, but there's definitely going to be around a good two ton or so there. Even the small bench top ones are a sturdy two man lift.

Worth owning or should I run it straight down the scrappy on collection?
Two ton is over my estimate but hardly surprising.

Definitely worth owning. Scrapping that would be a crime. The design and ruggedness of them is amazing quality, and it looks like that style has standard style replacable motors too, instead of the built into the head type, so there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to sort any problems on that machine. I'd have it if I had space, just for the sake of having it.


p.s: Just incase you skipped this bit first time around, *don't scrap it*.

I would guess 1300-1500kg
I have a single herbert that comes in at less than 400kg

I guess 1297kg, what do I win if I am right, please don't say the drill as the missus would have a fit!

I haven't exactly figured out where I will put it myself. Think its time I took on another unit!
