Not sure why you revived a 9 year old thread, but have to ask... what's a camelback and do I need one?

Camelback...



...and, yes, EVERYONE needs a camelback... lol...

It's a big, heavy, hole-hogging-beast... mine is about 1000 lbs of cast iron...

They are rumoured to be more dangerous than a modern drill press... they have a heavy rotating assembly with a steep gear reduction... they are difficult, if not almost impossible to stall.

Well, knowing that a camel is a horse designed by a committee, I can see why they would call that a camelback. Thanks.
