Hello all, I joined this board as I recently obtined one of the machines I wanted to be able to complete certain tasks around my home. What I did not realize as that I would end up purchasing a survivor that somehow missed the scrap heap. It is extreme overkill for homeowner tools, but I do not care. I dearly love old tools, and this one fits the niche perfecttly, with some overflow...
I procured a pre war Canedy-Otto MFG Co Royal 18 single spindle sliding head drill press with a wet base plate. It was sitting in someone's shop not being used for a number of years and he decided it was time to clear his shop.
I plan to completely disassemble her, clean everything of the accumulated old grease/oil, replace bearings, and give her a fresh slate blue paint job. I am not aware if the identification plate remains, covered in a thick layer of paint, or if it is gone. Either way, I have a very good picture of what is supposed to be on it, and if needed would love to get a reproduction.
The motor on it is a Brown-Brockmeyer B-LINE 3/4 HP single phase repulsion-induction. It is specifically built for a drill press and has "DP" as the beginning of the serial number. I've identified it as late 30's due to to it only having 3 patent numbers on it, the last being the mid/late 20's patent.
Last night I was able to locate an original bakelite knob to replace the missing one on the column lock lever, so I am stoked.
As well, it has a distributors tag on the right side of it, which is Stauss & Haas Inc New Orleans 12, La. I am under 75 miles away from where the Camp St location used to be.
Oh, and yes, it does run...
Anyways, any information/assistance with this old girl would be appreciated. I'm looking forward to engaging with y'all on these old machines that are few and far between, now a days...
TNX...
