I have a small room downstairs for a machine shop, trying to complete it with 'vintage' USA made tools. This one was made in Kalamazoo, MI.

Now I need to find vintage drill indexes & a vintage drill press vise.

Nice find. I love old tools also. I have some inherited hand tools from my family's machine shop that produced aircraft fittings during WWII
 
Very cool. I like old tools too. My friend has an old lathe. Has no use for it, but won't sell.
 
I picked up an accessory for it, an old drill index from the Cleveland Twist Drill Co.

Nice stuff! That's back when tools were made in the USA and built to last.
 
A fella on a woodworking site I am on just picked up this old mortiser. I love the feet on it - for a tool no less!

I found another old drill index for both fractional & number size bits. It is from Sandy, Oregon.
