Cameron Micro Precision Mini Drill Press 164 C1 Machinist Tool Maker Jeweler

Description

This is a Cameron Model 164 C1  Micro Drill Press. This is my personal tool,  acquired (circa) 1978 in a shop in Buffalo NY.   The Cameron model was sold thru a re-seller named Accu-Drill in NYC.   It is a Cameron model 164 with the tag removed.   The casting marks in the base indicate the Cameron mark.    I was a tool maker-model maker in my younger days,  retired now.   I worked on miniature circuit boards for discrete surveillance  and molds for miniature die cast vehicles.   Some are seen in the photos.
It did not have the dial indicator or belt cover when purchased.   All speeds work,  the rack and clock spring are tight and smooth.
The Drill press has a 0-1/8" Albrecht Chuck,  the chuck alone lists for 0 new.
