"portable" drills

[optima21]

I saw these in an old brochure for a local machine tool manufacturer.

now you might think that they arn't very portable, because they wont fit into your toolbag (or even van), but they are as they they have a hook on the top of the column to move them about with the use of a crane.

and hows about one of these machining centres (on the right) for @spencer 427

guess it would be rude not to scan another couple of pages as my scanner is connected to my laptop

so they are from Kitchen and Wade, I saw an old guy I knew who used to work there last weekend, it made his day when I showed him the brochure, and I had trouble getting it back off him, but I did tell him that I would copy it for him. I would have given him the brochure but its one I bought to donate to the local industrial museum.

they were taken over by Asquith's (also from Halifax) who are pretty well known for their drills. I posted a few pages from on of their 1920's brochures here

I like the combination machine tool, looks very handy.

Agreed that D3 combination machine would do me.
And if anyone tells you a combined Lathe / milling machine a la Clarke is a good idea point them at the D3 and show them how it should be done.

You know when a bit of machinery is big when a mug would be useless to get a perspective of scale..

Instead you get an idea of scale from the 22 rung ladder to get to the operators platform!!

I was thinking the same, it would be the Doberman’s danglers if that was a turret mill on the end of that D3 .
