[...] 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

[...] 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)

[...] “shipping weight” of 265 lbs. Figure an actual of somewhat less, perhaps 240 lbs? So get a helper or two to help you move it into a comfortable position to work on it! Getting the #$%^!! gearbox separated from the main part of the planer is by far the most difficult part of the disassembly process. In theory it should be straightforward, as there are not really many parts involved, but due to awkward access and stuck parts it often is not. Removing the Gearbox
Open the top on the gearbox and peer cautiously inside. First the gearbox oil/grease/gunk must be removed. Tilting/pouring, [...]
[...] specialized in making band saws, Royer decided to build one on his own. Along the way, he enlisted the help of Crescent.{Reference:Worman, 1-2.} Once the saw was complete, Royer needed a blade fitted for his saw. However, Royer did not know how to weld the blade. At that time, most band saw blades were extremely unreliable. Blades frequently broke, either from constant flexing, or from the failure of the weld that held together the two ends of the blade. Royer requested the help of Wilderson and Harrold to make a blade for his new machine.{Reference:Worman, [...]
[...] place to be if you were into old woodworking machines. The do's and don'ts of restoring a machine, help in finding a copy of an old manual, posts about buying and selling machinery, and so on became what people did with their free time. Over time, more and more people started showing up to talk about these old machines and the forum began to grow, slowly at first and then with more steam to eventually the membership measured in the thousands.

[...] 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. [...]
[...] 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 [...]
[...] and four footed cast iron, cast iron wheeled band saws
The VintageMachinery.org archive as of this writing (November 20, 2006) lists nine (9) four footed cast iron, cast iron wheeled band saws. These are as follows, listed alphabetically by the name of their manufacturer: D.C. Allen & Co. Collins & Greenwood First & Pryibil (2 examples) P. Pryibil (2 examples) C. B. Rogers & Co. Welch & Chipman Welch, Harrison & Co. Eight are represented by archival photographic entries in various degrees of completeness. The D. C. Allen saw does not have a photographic entry. [...]
[...] 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, [...]
[...] 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 [...]

[...] Meanwhile, back in Grand Rapids, Oliver needed a new trimmer to market. He went to LF&N in Detroit for help. Oliver somehow obtained a partner, Samuel L. Crockett, to start a new business - the American Machinery Co. (AMC). I suspect that the two may have been introduced via Oliver’s LF&N contacts. A new trimmer was designed, and a patent application was filed for Oliver by Leland’s attorneys on May 26, 1891. It’s my guess that the design of this machine, which I refer to as the “no number” trimmer, was mainly an Oliver effort. Leland’s dedication to precision continued [...]
[...] correlating serial numbers to date of manufacture does not exist for Parks’ machines. So, with the help of several other OWWM members, I began the quest to find out. Informally, we noted early on that there were a few obvious differences in some planers, such as changes in the gear box cover from three humps to one hump.
After staring at lots of catalogs and photos I began to make a list of differences. From there I developed a survey to collect information from Parks’ owners regarding specifics of their planers. The purpose is to gather enough information to establish [...]
[...] someone that has a truly "vintage" piece of machinery to sell and I don't think it's accurate enough to help guide a new-user to OWWM purchases. Final example: Bob in PA wants a VS Lathe- Oliver, Powermatic 90, etc. OWMM Bluebook says $400-1500, ebay prices range $800 - $1150 Bob buys his first lathe at $600- "a fair deal according to OWWM 'cuz its missing parts" - Bob thinks. Bob missed out on too many lessons by using this FAQ. Bob never learned about Cook Machinery in Sicklerville, NJ where you can buy any Powermatic 90 or Yates, or XYZ-brand for $200. There is no easy [...]

[...] puller could be improved in several ways to work a little faster. Threaded rod instead of bolts would help. 2 small bottle jacks, one on each side would be faster. But it is still very useful, even in its primitive form. How much effort, time, and money do you really want to put into something like this, anyway? It helps to put a rope or strap around the column and hang it from a hoist, to hold it as it is jacked out of the base. I think I have removed 6 now, using this tool. Three of the bases were the round Walker-Turner ones. You would not believe how tight they were. [...]

[...] 2nd owner, 21,000 miles, pristine, and an old family ukulele, was my older brother's. Maybe you can help me out. I inherited my dad's Delta saw when he passed in 1974. It seems to have all the gadgets. It matches some of the pics of older saws, it was in their house when mom passed in 1978. Thinking I would use it, I moved it to my house, where it's been in the garage since. It's big and heavy, as you probably know. I've looked to find how old it is by the serial number plate. Can't seem to locate it or the holes said to be there if the tag was removed. The only branding [...]
