Waldown Tapping Machine Manual
I have bought a Waldown Tapping machine at auction https://www.grays.com/lot/0015-80133...press?spr=true . It is based on the 3M drilling machine. Does anybody have a manual for one? Or can tell me if in its Tapping machine configuration it can still be used as a drill press?
I know I can probably strip it back and make it into a drill press but if it can do both duties that would be excellent.

Nice buy Can't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to be utilised as a Drill press, you could then use it for Left Handed flute drills too.

Looks like its the same or similar to mine.
And no I didnt get any info either.
I tried to work it out eons ago, and I think I resolved that it was set at one thread size. Was'nt able to figure out if it was ajustable....unless of course it works same as a tapping chuck. But that didnt seem to make sense as rotation seemed to be proportional to spindle travel....its been there on the bench ever since
