Hey guys. Christopher Smith here with LeBlond. Thanks for tuning in. Like I said in the last video, we were going to be talking about the drill press that we had come in, something kind of big, and here it is, it’s the radial arm drill press. This is a 13” by 49” for the customer that requested it. It was actually kind of an odd request for us. Everybody knows LeBlond for lathes. We were actually working with that customer for trying to get them a couple lathes with that project, wound up falling through and just saw them trying to see when the project might come live again. They said, “Hey, we’re looking for this radial arm drill press. Can you offer that?” And I said, “Hey, give me a couple of days. Let me see what I can find out.” And sure enough, yeah, we found some that are up to our specs that we really liked and presented to the customer and now they’re going in their hands.
I wish I had more time with it. It wound up coming in late. It was supposed to be to the customer before 2025, so I don’t have time to do a whole lot of showcasing on it for you. I wish I could, but this one is equipped with all your power feeds. Everything is power on this. Your up and down, your spindle control. Your locks are all automatic just with the push of a button to get everything locked for your rotating head, your arm. It’s a super heavy duty machine and really we are pretty excited about it. So if it’s something you guys are also in the market for, just don’t think of us as just Leblond for lathes.
We’re a whole lot more than that with our mills, surface grinders, tool and cutter grinders and parts. Parts is a big part of our business. We can still get parts for your old LeBlond lathes all the way back to 1938 just about. So please, yeah, keep us in mind for everything and just, it doesn’t hurt to ask. We’re always willing to help out. So yeah, take a look at it. It’s a great looking machine. We’re excited to see where this can go for us. So if you have any questions or anything on it, please let us know at leblondusa.com.
