OK, own up, who bought one these when they were new? :D

Actually, it's USA made, so probably no one in here has ever seen one.

Ah hah!

It's a Delta!

IMPORTANT: Outside of the United States and its possessions, Delta Tools are known as "TAUCO" Tools. Tauco tools are identical in every respect to Delta

Thanks for that info, bugbear.

I spend far too many hours reading that Popular Mechanics archive, it's a fantastic resource.

Not got the saw...........but I have got the drill!

I acquired it not so long ago, it needed a bit of TLC but it is a great machine. It does need a part but obviously I'm going to have to find someone to make it for me as I doubt they still do spares :lol: .

Kind regards,
Ed

Looks similar to an old Fobco drill which were also good drills. What part is missing???
