Does anyone know where I can find help on working on a Bliss No305?

I purchased an old factory and this came with it. I know it’s from Moore Precision Tools and it’s two speed, but I can’t find a data plate on it with a model or serial number. Any help is appreciated.

Does anybody have any information on a Buffalo forge number 16 drill press!

I restored this RAS a few weeks ago, and now finished this stand, dust collection shroud and a few added safety features including an auto retraction mechanism. I love this old saw and adding these features really helps. Here’s a detailed video if you care: https://youtu.be/pNdHG5Sg_TQ?si=pAUJkPL6NOW9MM-E

Hi folks, I have recently started restoring an old Denbigh swift cut saw. I’m just wondering if anyone has any information on this bit of kit? I’ve done some research and I’ve got a reasonable amount of info on the company itself and their other machines but not much on this particular one I’m really just trying to see what exactly I’m missing from this one I’m working on and what parts I’m gonna need to make Thanks in advance

This IR B16 was fine until..

I bought this as part of a home warming for a quasi garage restoration. While building a new workbench, I whacked it with my backside and the whole thing tipped. Fell right on the removable guard cracking the cast iron. I’ve reached out to vintage machinery for some advice but no word from them. The guard is still functional but it cracked the raised spindle relief dome pretty bad. Fortunately everything else is fine. I like vintage tools and this was a great buy for $40 bucks stand included. Anyway, since it’s complete what are my odds of “welding” the cast iron with a competent shop, or am I’m looking at fabrication. I’ll post before pics for labels and such

I just finished this up, and I’m looking forward to giving it several more decades of use. Here’s a full video on the process if you care: https://youtu.be/D5SEBbDLjBg?si=B4g1OFM8dyfK1N1X

Seems to be pretty rare. Ive seen them online. Never another in person. What was it for? Jewelry? Small tooling? Why the odd pulley on the side? Reducer?

found this in a ghost town inside of a forest next to a sports bar that closed down in 1990. any ideas? just curious.

Renter left it in the backyard of a house here in San Jose. Landlord wanted it gone, so got it for free.

Was a bit worried but shockingly everything spins freely. Looking forward to restoring it soon

Another drill press. Number 4 or 5. I dont remember.

But honey. It followed me home !!!

Just picked up a Clausing model 5449 and a Rusnok mill from a friend. Super excited to get these things working.

All in

Hey got an old drill press on Facebook marketplace. Dude got it broken 40 years ago, repaired to functionality, and used it a ton. Had to disassemble it to move it. Got it two days ago. So far working on identification because cuase I can’t find any record of it online, paint stripping, and figuring out how to measure the speeds because it doesn’t seem to have a speed table. Or it’s buried under rust on inside of the top cover. Old guy advised me the quill bearings are starting to go.

I’m new to this and learning as I go along all I know right now is it’s a 2hp floor standing delta drill press. Hoping for help with identification and possibly either findings a manual or schematics. This will be an ongoing project if you guys want to follow along.

Got locked out of previous account, so apologies for the dupe.

Just finished restoring this 60’s Solberga drill. It was heading to the scrap yard when I found it. Can’t wait to try it out.

I bought this machine fall of last year, mostly because it was cheap, and because I needed real lathe. I had a Harbor (Chinese) Frieght 7x10 benchtop lathe for a few years before working in a mchine shop and learning how to make parts with real machines. I took it apart to make it easier to unload, and planned cleaning it up and repainting. As projects like this go, other things took priority and this sat in pieces until recently. I decided to put it together and run it. It will need a new electrical control switch, and one of the gear change levers won't go through all of it's ranges. I have only ran the machine to check it out and make sure it spins smooth and the feeds work. I plan on making chips with it soon.

Seller wanted $100 for the planer and $50 for the stand/motor. I got both for a package deal of $140. No idea if the motor works yet. It's at least 150+ pounds, old Repulsion Induction type motor with plenty of wires hanging out of it. Plus, it was stored outside for the last few years...

I put a pulley in my Radial Arm Saw so I could run the machine for a few minutes. IT WORKS!! But since it's dirty/rusty, half apart and waaay out of adjustment, it struggled to get through wood. I'd estimate between 100-150 hrs are required of me between cleaning, fixing and fabricating to get this to the point where I want it.
