Central Machinery Model T-583 16-Speed Heavy Duty Drill Press
$300.00
Description
**Central Machinery Model T-583 16-Speed Heavy Duty Drill Press**
This is a floor-standing drill press manufactured by Central Machinery, Model T-583, featuring 16 variable speeds ranging from 170-3800 RPM at 60Hz. The machine has a distinctive green painted cast iron and steel construction with a 1 HP, 60Hz, 16 amp motor. The unit includes a round work table with T-slots, adjustable height column, and manual feed handles with depth stops. A complete set of step pulleys is stored in an integrated compartment, and the original speed chart nameplate remains clearly legible.
The drill press shows moderate wear consistent with shop use, including surface rust on the work table and some paint wear on high-contact areas. The green paint has developed a patina but appears largely intact. All mechanical components appear complete and functional, including the quill mechanism, chuck, and pulley system. The base shows typical workshop wear but maintains structural integrity.
Based on the 1994 copyright date and Taiwan manufacturing origin visible on the nameplate, this unit is approximately 30 years old, representing Central Machinery's mid-tier industrial line sold through Harbor Freight Tools. The substantial construction and 16-speed capability indicate this was designed for serious workshop use rather than light hobby applications.
**Estimated Value: $200-400** depending on mechanical condition and local market demand for used industrial equipment.
