Does anyone recognize this. It has no id. or rpm markings. It is single speed and seems to have a low rpm.

:D It looks like an antique electric drill to me without the chuck.

Kind of looks like an old Black and Decker grinder/polisher from the late 50's or early 60's???? I guess it could be a drill but that single low speed is questionable unless it would be like a "Hole Hawg" style drill set up for a 1/2" or larger chuck.

Looks like an old time stubby drill....the kind used for boring holes in wall studs to run wiring through. A friend of mine has something similar....has unbelievable torque for such a little drill. Ah, the old days............

My guess is its an old sander also used for componding laquer paint. I have a 9 inch wool pad that threads on that I used many years ago to compound an acylic laquer paint job,but as far as doing an upcoming clearcoat I dont think It would be a good idea to use this beast .
