This is my workplaces full time deburring machine, however I have no idea why it has 2 heads. The second one was obviously and was an afterthought and it is slapped together. it was originally a craftsman drill press. does anybody know the reasons when it has a second head, and if so does your shop have similar drill presses.

It's a countersinking drill. Drill your hole and immediately countersink without changing bits.

Someone was just tired of changing bits 1000 times a day.
