I rebuilt a walker turner RD last year. a couple of head scratchers but nothing too difficult. I still need to replace the quill spring. Those have a tendency to break.

Appears that you inquired over at old woodworking machines that would have been my suggestion It looks to me that the bearing is a 370-10-1 parts list http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/808/2430.pdf or, http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/808/2418.pdf

Patternmakers would use them for measuring and laying against a shrink ruler. Often used in turning large items on a lathe. The curved points would either both face each other or both go away (for inside diameter)

Are you buying or selling?

Very nice house. I recently purchased a walker turner radial drill like that. completely tore down and undergoing refurbishment. BTW, my best friend lives outside Langford SD.

My WT radial drill 1170. I have been told this one has a more desirable 6" quill. In the process of refurbishing.
