Why does it now lack the handle?

That is a way gool, high-gizmo post drill.  I've never seen one like 
that before.  Looks like it mounts on a bench, rather than a post?  And 
has a vise on the back side?

And check out the size of that horizontal flywheel on top!!  Holy cow!

Looks pretty darn top-heavy.

The other one also is way cool.  I've never seen one with fly weights 
instead of a flywheel.  Tres cool.

Thanks for sharing the pics!
