I picked up my new to me ,wee drilling machine ,  A Arboga E-830  geared head drill  , 8 speed .

I had to lower the head to get it through the shop door (just)  , needs some TLC  ,nothing to drastic   , table is 400mm x 500mm , a 300mm throat  and a power feed 4MT spindle  . 



Cheers Rob

That is a nice heavy duty drill press (not a jig borer).  Each & every Arboga machine I've seen has been an excellent example of fine engineering and craftsmanship as the Swedes over engineer their machine tools even more than the Germans.

BTW,
