The look 3ph?
bit much if so.
that sort of equipment has dropped quite a bit in price recnetly on things like bidspotter.
Yep,Do you mean they look to be 3 phase and as such would be worth less than a single phase equivalent?
I also feel there is more stuff about but people are reluctant to spend
They take a standard for mount motor. If you have an unusual motor, it's not difficult to make an adapter plate.Someone has the next size up floor mount version listed at £450 on ebay ,

If someones looking for a drill press I think £100 isn't an unreasonable price. If they get a de-rust with a wire wheel that would probably make them more attractive to a purchaser. It looks like just condensation from sitting unused, if the spindle is nice and clean etc.
The quill travel is a big selling point as most of the modern generic smaller drill presses are quite limited. The one I have is only 3" quill a lot have only 2".
The three phase is the only thing that might slow the sales. Do they take a standard motor type or is it custom?
You could always list it for one price and see if it sells and drop the price if they don't.
I've had quite good luck with having the option of "make an offer" on ebay stuff as it's a cheaper listing option than buy it now.

Thanks for the feedback all, much appreciated.
Yes I am in NI and so are the drills so like all tools here it tends to be pricey.
I think I'll make an offer of say £150 for one of the meddings tomorrow and if they don't take it then it is what it is.
