Anyone possibly have parts for a Buffalo Forge 20" drill press? I just picked this one up and I need the powerfeed assembly. A lot of these old camelback drill presses share similar powerfeeds so you may have one that will work.

I have quite a few antique metal working machines but no Buffalo. I like to "feel" the feed, especially on break-through, so power feed scares me. Nice drill!
Try this - it's a fantastic website for woodworking machinery and machine tools:

It has a discussion forum, classified ads, manufacturers index, photo index and downloadable literature.
Here's a 20" floor standing Buffalo Forge drill press:

WOW Patrick! There is one still in nearly daily use at the shop!
The largest bit I bought to use was 2 7/16" and it handles it with ease.
The power feed is nice for heavy, slow, drilling.
Clamp down the piece and walk away.......
