1939 Walker-Turner Driver Line Drill Press Series 700
This is my latest restoration job. It took me quite a while to
complete but I’m very happy with the results.
Unique to this drill press is the fact the shaft has 4 sets of ball bearings..
You talk about smoooooooooth running.. It’s excellent!
Read the OLD brochure for it!
I’ve advertised it now for $300.00. I sell these pretty quick.
My last one was a 1948 Duro Drill Press Model SF3083 and it was gone in the first 24 hours…
People like quality.. not the junk you buy today.
Nice thing about the Vintage machines is they always retain their value.
Anyhow.. I thought I’d show it off along with some before photo’s, original advertisement and a video.

I love restoring old tools. I never posted on them though. I have a similar drill press I just picked up awaiting a make over right now. Nice job.
