Canada: Drill presses were an essential part of Canadian workshops in the 19th and 20th centuries. They allowed Canadian manufacturers to start producing their own machines, and contributed to the rising industrial era in Canada in the 1850s-1900s. South Bend Lathe Inc. is the largest exclusive manufacture of metalworking precision tools in the world, with customers in over 88 countries (including Canada). This particular press was supplied by Environment Canada, specifically the meteorology and atmospheric science division. Distributed by the Rudel Industrial Division. Multispeed press, known for accuracy, ease of operation, versatility and dependable performance. Donated by Environment Canada. Label on the side reading: Supplied by the Robert Morse Corporation.
Function: Floor model 14-inch precision drill press. Used to perforate holes in metal up to 14 inches in diameter. Used for precise work.
Technical: 14-inch precision drill press, able to maintain precise accuracy under heavy industrial work. Contains a built-in light to illuminate the work area and eliminate the need for a separate light bulb. Free-floating spindle design prevents misalignment.
