It is in Bradford,Ontario, CANADA
Is the price too high ?

That is a 10ER. It predates the Mark V.

It is too far away from me and I would not have the space for it anyway.

And in two weeks you could have it looking like this

WOW very nice looking Fred and in just two weeks ... do you mean 40 hours a week ?

I spent about 3 hours a night after work on this one. My next two went even faster since I didn't have to wait on bearings. Evapo-Rust and quick drying spray can paint is the secret.

I can guess that they make excellent drill press.
Do you use them all ?

I think the 10ER makes a really great drill press. I use one as a dedicated drill press and have another (along with a Mark 5 "shorty") for horizontal use.

But I do think $250 is a little steep. I think $100 to $150 would be a more fair price.

I have the one pictured set up as a drill press/drum sander. The second one is set up with the Jig Saw attachment, which I have converted to the saber saw mode. The third one is in storage to be used as a parts donor.

Nice job. a wish I had the room I would do more restoration.
I saw one of the guys on youtube building a cross cut sled, he was using a 10 ER for the drill press part of the demo.
Thanks for the post.
