It's a finely made, nicely proportioned machine which has been mounted on a board with a 1\/8th horsepower single phase motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The belts are modern - it would be nicer to replace with the thin leather rope originally used - and pulleys are not currently fastened to their spindles so run loose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020120707413,"sku":"11194","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/11194-1.webp?v=1779910769","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/belt-drive-drilling-machine-stock-code-11194","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
