What new tools have you got lately?

Powermatic 1150? Do you need just a shade or the fixture or both?

OWWM.org would be your best shot. I can make a BOYD (bring out your dead, their classifieds) post if you'd like, if you don't want to make an account.

Yeah, it's a Powermatic but I don't recall the model # off hand. Ideally I'll replace the shade and the fixture too, as it is broken off at the swivel.

Edit:
The lamp fixture was added by someone in the past. It's not original to the drill press.

Yep, it's an 1150. @legopnuematic I'm impressed that you knew the make and model just from that one picture I posted, lol.

To be honest I have no real idea why I know that, maybe from estate sales or something. It was pretty fresh on my mind as one of those cabinets popped up for sale a while back and they didn't know what it was, that brought it up to the front of my memory lol.

The raised panel could have been a timer and clock arrangement, I guess depending on your roasters trim level. Looks like yours is a custom deluxe

I googled it later in the day to show my dad and then last night on marketplace I found 2 more of them lol

Didn't make it to Hobo Freight till Saturday, grabbed one of the Quinn low profile socket sets and a few odds and ends I've been needing to restock on. Only spent $35

They are a fairly distinct head casting, and probably the most common of the Powermatic drill presses.

Well regarded machines, things got a little shaky in the Houdaille era*, still good machines generally.

Here is some information on serial numbers if you want to know what year it was built:

*Houdaille Industries was buying up a bunch of industrial tool manufacturers in the 1970s and 80s, and basically through inept management and other issues ran them into the ground. They owned Powermatic, Di-acro, Burgmaster among others. There was even a book written about the loss of Burgmaster:

Awesome! Looks like it's a '72 unit. I really like the thing. Even with a cracked motor pivot bracket, it still works really well. I love how much up/down travel the drill chuck has too. The only downside is the table adjustment, there's no rack and pinion type adjustment like newer stuff has. When I finally get my "shop" arranged and the drill press in a permanent location, I'd like to rig up a simple counterbalance system for the table.
