re: Let's talk vintage and antique drills and related

This is my latest project, a North Bros Yankee 1005 drill press.  I haven't even had a chance yet to spin the handle so don't know a lot about it.  An advertisement that I saw on Vintage Machinery shows it is an auto friction and ratchet feed.  I see it is also a 2-speed.  I'm anxious to get to work on it.  I have been too dang sick to do a whole lot lately though.
