Yes its a 3hp 3phase motor. I have a rotory phase converter that should work with it

Picked up a new toy/restoration project. Been hard to find info on this tho. Anyone here know about them?

Some of my recent additions to my shop. These pictures are after i have restored the machines and set them up for use. A powermatic 143 i got for 300 bucks. Took a while to clean the rust off and repaint that. Finally got it moved to my basement shop. The southbend heavy 10 i got with a lot of...

Wow man nice find! Thats a geared head drill press, ive been wanting one for a long time in that price range. I got a nice walker turner 1100 recently for 100 bucks, which is a steal but still no geared head!

Kepp us posted i love to see old tool restored

Owwm?

Thank you @Hoorn ! 500 lbs shipping weight i believe, its crazy how much heavier it is than a 15"

Does anyone have a spring assembly that would fit a Walker Turner 1100 drill press? These are what they look like.

The final assembly was next i put the motor back. I just wanted to hear it spin. Its almost silent i was so happy about that at least. Ill spend more time cleaning it later but i cant explain how excited i am not to have to muscle a table up and down anymore. I also plan to replace the super...

I wish i could tour your shop, that machine and the ones behind it look immaculate. VERY nice job

I have a different use case than you, i have the normal size not the xxl but the one thing i miss about the channels is the heaft. I use them as a hammer sometimes and the kniplex are a lot lighter like almost not good enough to hit things with. If that is not a problem the kniplex have...

Yeah i do think someone else probably deserves this more than i do, my basement is full of metal working tools i lean toward hobby machinist stuff heavily, but that gave me a deep appreciation for high quality American made tools, thats how i even spotted the thing honestly. If l i restore...

Well im also not 100% decided on what to do with this bench. The catalog allinc100 linked says the height was 34" from the factory.. heres my problem do i try to restore this to look as original as possible and sell it? They seen to fetch upwards of 2k restored and with more damage than mine...
