[...] do take care, you really do have the power to change most anything in the Wiki at this point. Basic Formatting Entering text into the Wiki is as easy as typing, but making it look the way you want takes a bit more effort. Text Effects Adding text effects such as Bold or Italics involves marking the start and end of the text as shown below. Don't tell anyone, but I swiped this from the Wiki's Help - WikiMarkup Reference page: Writing '''bold''' produces bold Writing ''italic'' produces italic Writing __underlined__ [...]

[...] Vance No. 3 Planer/Matcher left hand side, catalog cut This will be of great help! The description gives me some critical information such as countershaft RPM, HP requirement and even the length of the belts required. It also shows some of the missing parts on my machine which will be very helpful as I try to reproduce them. Here is a picture of the other side of the Vance matcher: Vance No. 3 Planer/Matcher right hand side, catalog cut

This page shows some of the main internal components of a single-phase Unisaw repulsion-start/induction run (RI) "bullet" motor. The page covers three major elements in troubleshooting and repairing internal components: - Turning the commutator and undercutting the mica
- Fabricating and replacing the shorting necklace
- Replacing the brushes The approaches and tools shown in the original entry on this page were done in a hobbiest garage-shop, using moderate level tools such as a lathe, and do not require significant [...]

[...] rebuild and the documentation of it in the form of this wiki, when I came across Bill’s very excellent page where he photodocuments his own rebuild. Doug provided me with a ton of excellent pictures of his own rebuild that I was able to use in the wiki. And Bob was always at the ready with a helpful answer to any question or problem I desperately posted in the dark days of teardown and rebuild. Thank you gentlemen! These planers are superior in almost every way to the cheap plastic lunchbox screamers that are sold new today. Fixing one up will be well worth the effort. [...]
[...] Editor of the Eastern Province Herald, the newspaper that serves the Port Elizabeth area, asking for help from anyone who had any information on the Rockwell Delta / Tauco plant in Port Elizabeth. The responses to that letter made this booklet possible. My grateful thanks to all those who responded and gave me the leads. For those interested in the background, I hope you find this story as interesting as I did compiling it. Gerald Buttigieg (Afric-arn-a)

[...] the works locate here.”{Reference:The Leetonia Reporter, August 9, 1894, 1.} A week later, a front page story in the Leetonia Reporter gave in detail an account of the deal worked out to entice the new company to locate their business in Leetonia rather than Columbiana. In exchange for locating in Leetonia, the Leetonia Board of Trade would donate a site, picked out by the owners of Crescent, for the new business. The three partners selected a tract of land located on Front Street with railroad tracks on the rear of the property and the Electric Light Works next door. [...]

[...] used parts, new in box parts and old stock, never been used parts pop up all the time. Visit the Links page on this Web site for other machines that are still serviced. You can also search the OWWM forum archives to ferret out other brands to watch for. While on the subject of parts, I don't wholly rely on parts availability when sizing up a machine. A missing dust door for a Unisaw does not hamper it's performance. On the other hand, a missing bandsaw table pretty much signals the end to the party. Parts have to be judged on a case by case basis. Is There A Fast, Down [...]

[...] dinner was set, but Mrs. Sweet discouraged the idea and Mr. Armstrong persuaded him to stay over to help “talk to some men to whom he (Armstrong) wanted to sell an engine.” We all gathered in a reception room, adjacent to the dining room, at an early hour, and Armstrong then brought in Professor to meet the men who were “to buy the engine.” His surprise and delight in meeting again these men, many of whom he had not seen for twenty years or more, was something that will always be one of the pleasant recollections of my life. He went around the room greeting each one [...]

[...] take pictures. Take lots of pictures and while you are at it go to the Old WoodWorking Machines Web page and download a parts drawing for your vintage. I like to take parts drawings and enlarge them at the copy machine at work (of course) and make several copies of each page. I use these in conjunction with a high lighter and make pages specifically for each of the major assemblies. That way I can clearly see what it is I’m working on and not be distracted by all the other parts. I also use parts drawings from different eras and actually [...]

Parks Brochure This brochure is identical to the one posted on James' Web page with the exception of: 1) It shows the cast iron base as shown in the Kindt-Collins catalog. 2) The gear box cover is not secured. 3) It has the 1887 date on the back and the text on the inside states, "For over forty-eight years Parks has manufactured..." With some simple addition we arrive at a late 30's [...]
[...] and there was evidence of wobble at the spindle. The following are the procedures I used. They may help you, or not. I don’t know your level of expertise with tools nor what tools you may have available. For this reason, use the described procedures at your own risk. I first tried an electronic phase converter. This allowed the motor to start, but proved unsatisfactory. The phase converter provides a startup "third phase" but cuts out after the motor is spinning, leaving it to operate on two phase power. This means that one set of windings isn't producing any torque, [...]
[...] 1150. A classic 15" drill press that is durable and serviceable. The following sequence is designed to help a new owner replace ALL bearings and thus give the drill press a "new life" for the next 20 + years, even more in a hobbyist shop-provided the motor is in good working order. This is a 1966 PM 1150. It has a Robbins & Myer 1 hp -1725rpm -1 ph motor; currently wired for 110v (a 220v wiring diagram is listed on the motor). A newer 2002 Sears 15" model is in the background for scale. This is an abbreviated guide but should get one through the basics of the machine. [...]
[...] There was, however, a few pieces left in the small holes drilled in the shell though (which are used to help anchor the bearing in place.) To remove the old bearing metal, just use a torch and melt it out. After melting out the old Babbitt, next clean things up real good. When I do this, I usually use a water based de-greaser and scrub the area up real good and then wash it off with clean water. Next, I will often use a wire brush on a drill or side-grinder and brush the area real good. The wire brush will do a good job of removing any old rust of loose materials from the [...]
[...] dial indicator of the proper size with about a 1/4-in, plunger range (see sidebar at bottom of this page). Understanding your planer The Parks planer used in this article, though it is no longer made, contains all the common features found on a thickness planer. Your model may not contain all the components I’ll address here. Even so, you should still be able to adapt the same principles to make adjustments to your own machine. As a board passes through a planer, it is influenced by the relative positions of seven different components: the knives in the cutter-head [...]
