Comments:
This drill shares many components with the No.1. The main difference is the No.1 is auto feed the No.1½ is not.

I don't understand the Model Numbering convention as the No.1½ comes before the No.1 in the catalog and the No.1½ is the lesser drill. Both also appear to have been produced at the same time.

This drill is missing the foot, otherwise complete and original.

Over all Foot Print 8x13", Height 36", Table 6" Dia,, weight 55 Pounds.

Spindle to table max 10½", Drills ¾" to centre of 12"

Takes ½" Shak Drill Bits

Located in Melbourne Australia.
