Startrite pillar drill

[Dave W]

Very reluctantly decided to part with my startrite 3 phase pillar drill. I've bought a big radial arm drill and small milling machine so can't really justify keeping this.
was originally from environment agency workshops before I bought it. Proper geared head with selectable speeds. Rise and fall bed that tilts and rotates. Morse taper 3 spindle. Properly plumbed in coolant setup.
What's she worth?

Big radial not a bit clumsy? Not Better keeping the pillar drill?

Interesting machine

It is clumsy. But brilliant for the right job.
little bench mounted milling machine is really a glorified pillar drill with milling table.
I can't justify all 3 unfortunately

Almost 5 ton at scrap value.. hope she's a good one!

That's a clever speed changing mech on the Startrite... never seen a single knob setup with cams before, just the usual 2 lever setup giving 4 or 6 speeds plus 2-winding motor speeds.

Nice drill, I have a similar capacity Arboga with an XY table and have always wanted a small radial arm drill as an upgrade.

Had a workshop jig about to get everything to fit.
