Area code 219 is Indiana. I moved from Indiana to northern Calif 15 months ago. I looked for an old large drill machine when I lived there. Where were you then? :-)

Photos have been delivered to Mr.Henry some time ago.

The spindle taper is #9 Brown & Sharp. There are new made collets available for it. They go up to 3/4".

Wells-Index is in business in Muskegon, Michigan. They have a ledger of the original invoices for when these were sold.

Sorry I'm just seeing your question now in Feb08.

I'll do a couple photos in the next week. Mine has had the power down feed removed and the brass cover that's on it just covers up the manual downfeed. If I remember right its a worm gear. But I'll do some closeups for you. Send me an email through fotki if you can.

Do you have any information on the Index Machine & Tool Co.? Are they still in existance? I also have a mill but don't know what model, and would like to get some info from them.

Hello, My Dad and I just purchased a model 40 Index, but it is missing the manual downfeed assembly for the quill. I was just wandering if there would be any way we could see what the inside screw and gear mechanism looks like on the head. Thank you! Jebb

I have one of these drill presses.

"Parris-Dunn", not "Perris-Dunn"... Anything interesting on the second sheet (this is sheet 1 of 2)? Neat to see, tho - first time I've run across this information - thanks for posting it!

Does anyone know what the spindle taper is on this milling machine?

Thank you.

Big Foot survives!

How do I go about getting a copy of this picture?

Thanks..

I grew up in South Bend, where Sibley Machine and Foundry is currently in business, and has been over a century and a quarter. In my high school machine trades courses, we had this exact drill which I used numerous times. Sweet machine!

Boy it was bright that day, total wash out.

Ha Ha, Good Question. I don't really know where it came from. I moved the Gravely and found it holding up a three legged table.

Ok children, I am Ray from the NRA and today we are going to talk about Chicken. See that little shack down there? Well, each of you take one of these guns off the rack and follow me. Ali, hold my beer. You gotta see this!

Uh Oh! Here comes that Pelfry Guy. Hide your guns, he has an eight ball in his pocket and he isn't afraid to use it.

ok, the real quote is 'what more could there be to know'

It is 'What more could you need to know?'

That's my stomach, and my Finn Remington M91.
