The equipment tag reads "B.E.C. 18910/190".

Estimated to have been built between the 1950s and 1960s, the machine is in used condition, showing normal wear, paint loss, and age-related patina. It appears intact and was utilized in a general maintenance or machine shop service environment. Notably, the drill press is equipped with a premium Kurt machine vise.

No technical documentation, such as manuals or inspection reports, is available. The unit is currently located at an operating site, the Balzac Gas Plant in Alberta, and its removal will be the strict responsibility of the buyer.

Vintage British and Canadian machine tools of this era are highly regarded for their heavy cast-iron construction, which provides superior rigidity compared to modern imports. However, they lack contemporary safety guarding, such as spindle guards and interlocks, and do not feature variable frequency drives (VFDs). Replacement parts are obsolete and must be sourced from specialty dealers or custom-machined.
