North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - skizzo - 12-28-2016 An acquaintance brought me this Yankee 1005 bench drill today, out of a corner where he had it stashed for a number of years. I don't know much about these, but the bottle-capper assembly on top and the pulley rather than a crank handle are significantly different than any other 1005s I've been able to look at. Does this look like a set of well-done user-mods some time over the past decades, or is is possibly a different design from North Brothers? Any insights are appreciated.

Did they have elect motors yet? ![]() RE: North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - Boatman53 - 12-29-2016 This one looks like it was retrofitted with a pulley in place of the crank handle. Jim RE: North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - skizzo - 12-29-2016 I know the pulley is a replacement for the original crank handle and auto-feed. What I can't figure out, but also think is a user mod, is the bottle-capper handle on top. It seems that a PO somehow bypassed the auto-feed drive, mounted a pulley and motor, and turned it into a version of a powered drill press without auto-feed. RE: North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - Bill_Houghton - 12-29-2016 A lot of ingenuity, somewhat misplaced in retrospect. RE: North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - Joe Tilson - 12-30-2016 I remember seeing something similar to this at my great uncle's grist mill,which was powered by an over water wheel. This could have been run by a leather belt, and water powered. He had two water powered lathes. Those babies could turn logs. He made some cannon for a field show when my sister and I were freshmen in HS. Just thought of this as a possibility. Sorry for the ramble. ![]() RE: North Bros. Yankee 1005 Bench Drill - bandit571 - 01-01-2017 There was this Estate Sale a few months back..... [attachment=769] I wish I had the room for either of these two "gems".......or a small lathe.. [attachment=770] Just the tip of the iceberg...too. Per the OP's drill press......how would you mount that? On a post? RE: North Bros.

It mounts onto a bench using the threaded clamp behind the post at the table level. |
