Oerlikon UB2
Here's my latest tool ...an Oerlikon UB2 radial dress press. This is a Swiss-made drill press which has the unusual ability to drill in a 360 degree swivel in both the head and the column....very handy for angle drilling or getting at tough spots. It has 3 power feed speeds and speeds from 30 RPM to 3070 RPM. When people scoff at Chinese-made junk, this is the sort of tool that gives them the right to do so. The quality and precision is light years ahead.
It was in the shop of a friend who closed his place after 5 decades...the place was so big and packed full of stuff I never even knew he had it after 27 years of walking around in there. It came with all threes drawers packed full of drill bit and reamers and end mills and setup tooling.
I'm gonna clean it up and put it to work!
