Drill Press
Built by Les Chatfield in June 2020 for the Never Used Parts Secretary’s Challenge
This is my Secretary’s Challenge model in that it uses a part I have hardly used — until now. It is the brass cone pulley. A beautiful part but lacking a model to go in.
Now I have two new models using these pulleys. The chuck came from goodness knows where but I was able to hold it in the chuck of my lathe and drill it to take a standard Meccano shaft, secured with some Loctite!

The later photos show a revised version of this model.
