    It looks similar in build quality to my 1956 DeWalt MB RAS which is also pretty much all cast iron, mine's only drawback being that it takes a 9" blade, which, while they can be found are nowhere near as prolific as the 10" blades. Mine has a toggle on/off switch closer to the base of the arm on its right side which I am happy with. Never cared for those keyed switches, which, whenever I've had them, I super glue the key in place so there's never any chance of losing it.

    Any milling at all on a drill press is dangerous without a drawbar to secure the taper on the chuck & i would not have any milling cutters in a drill chuck it will come loose even light milling, get your self a mill & be safe.

    I have this same machine in my shop from the 80s. It has been a good machine & my hands use it almost without the engagement of my mind. One upgrade on mine was to replace the original set-screw in the channel that allows the table to tilt. Mine now has a permanent set that can be altered if ever I want to tilt the table. Before, it tended to tilt of its own accord. I have several drill presses now, better ones, yet I go back to this one the most.

I currently have 4 Drill Presses, the "youngest" is a Startrite Floor Type (Made in England) from 1998, then I have a very small bench model dating from 1982 (Taiwanese made), another bench model (Japanese) from 1979 and a huge bench type (Also made in Japan, but different manufacturer). This last one is pre 1966, but not sure which year exactly. Weighs in around 140kg (+/-300lbs). Build quality on the older machines are much better than anything new available from China nowadays.
