Post Drill Press
Shared by Mangawhai Museum
Made by Dawn of Melbourne, Australia. Model No. 611, Code No. 9157 This post drill press has been made by Melbourne business, Dawn Manufacturing Company. It can be operated manually or by a pulley driven flywheel, with the aid of an engine connected to a power supply. Dawn’s Golden Anniversary 1917-1967 Catalogue describes this model 611 drill as … “Ruggedly constructed with accurately reamed bearings. The coupling between the main spindle and feed screw engages the full circumference of the spindle, and embraces a ball-bearing thrust race. The pillar, as in all “Dawn Drilling Machines” is a solid bright steel bar, in place of the usual light tubing. Adjustable automatic feed." The Dawn Manufacturing Co. was founded in Coburg, Melbourne, in 1917. Used by the Bull Family, Black Swamp Road, Mangawhai.
