Stay dry Texans!

It does Shaun. I would always get peeved when I would spend a lot of time making some scales or drill out some pins that had the vintage rosettes & my drill would move but I was using my hand drill. The Dremel setup isn't as precise as this is.

Yeah, the rain just stopped about 5 minutes ago but I hear thunder in the back ground. Quite a few inches of rain have fallen just in the last 2 hours but I'm okay where I'm at. I just looked at the radar on my phone & more is coming, a lot more!!!! Thank you Shaun.

Sweet Lil drill press, Steve.

Thanks Mike. I found out about this place called Micro Mark & they sell HO trains & others along with accessories like small trees, buildings, cars & trucks but it cost a lot of money to have a small train layout. They also sell small machine tools like this drill press & even small lathes & such. I got it on sale for their summer sale but I think I got an email earlier that they are having another sale. I need to look. I should have bought a light they have that is flexible with a magnetic base so I could use it on the drill press.

Is that a Unimog? I love those things. They have portal axles like a HMMWV. Puny little motors though and you have to buy parts from Mercedes which just means you're going to get hosed on price. Still they're really cute.

I was thinking the same thing. Unimogs are just cool no matter what.

Steve, that drill press is the cats meow my friend. That will make it quite simple to do precision drilling and repeat it if needed I'd think.
Great score

Stay safe and dry Brother

They made the same model of Unimog for something like 30 years, so there are a lot of parts around and a ton of aftermarket parts. They are suppose to be pretty inexpensive to maintain. There are a few here in town, and I have always wanted one too.

Look like it would make a great vehicle for hunting camps, around here, as well as where your at, Shaun.

They do not go fast but they do go everywhere and carry a serious amount of gear.

I could store my hones in that thing.
