Looks like fun - who's that made by then? Suitable for light milling work I would guess?

Ooo, my eyes have gone all green. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Is that a converted pillar drill or was it made that way?
The chuck looks a bit lightweight for anything serious but it could be quite useful.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

Think you'll find the chuck is either on a taper or threaded so you can easily remove is to work with a cutter/collet type setup.

Looks like a morse taper jobby and judging by the worm wheel on the feed mech, I'd say it was designed for light milling as well as drilling.

In the model engineering world they're regarded as a useful mill - can't do anything too heavy, but effective for small and light work.
Certainly good enough for model work, and other light machining.
