I have a very old drill press I am trying to find information on. It is a Seifreat-Elstad Machinery Company (SEMCO) press. It was manufactured in Ohio. It is a very large and robust machine. Probably 8 foot tall, 3 foot wide, uses big 3 inch wide belts to run on. It is very cool. I will post some pictures when I get some taken of it. Just trying to find more info on it. It has been in my family over 20 years and I have owned it for 3 years. This is the only info I can find.

Thanks Rick. I have posted it on that site and now I am just waiting on someone to reply.

Here is a photo of it by the way, if anyone is interested in large, vintage, working machinery. It is a BIG boy.
