About this model
An older, heavier drill press painted olive green, with a hinged belt guard, a cast-iron column, a crank handle and a stout table. It looks well used and greasy. It is about 2 ft wide, 2 ft deep and 3.5 ft tall, within one square.
Use it in a factory, a railway workshop or a farm shed. It is heavy and gives light cover. Such old machines fit dieselpunk, wartime and abandoned industrial settings especially well. Pair it with the smaller press for a workshop that grew over decades. Its rust and grease suggest nobody has cleaned it in years, and the bulk is enough to duck behind.
Ideas for the table
- Resistance fighters build weapons on an old drill press hidden in a farm barn.
- A worker's ghost still operates the old press in a closed factory.
- The party uses the heavy drill press as a barricade during a gunfight.
