The Otto is the only press of the three that had lead paint (i tested them before stripping) so be carefull if you do the same to yours.
Jeez I would never have even stopped to think about this as an issue. Nice work!
jessf said:Thanks. I restored all these myself. The Canedy-Otto got new bearings, a thorough cleaning, greasing and new paint. The Otto is the only press of the three that had lead paint (i tested them before stripping) so be carefull if you do the same to yours. It also weighs close to 400lbs and the base alone is more than i can handle.
I get a kick out of waving enthusiastically to one of my neighbors while donning the full PPE regalia. They have no idea what I'm up to and it keeps them on their toes! :lol2:
This is not me btw, Google image.
This thread has made me realize that I've put off fixing my Walker Turner table top long enough. Needs a replacement (not new) motor and some bronze bushing for the pulleys.
I don't have a picture of my press but it looks like this one....
Thats what would be called a sensetive drill press and it can be operated by pressing on the lever or pulling the quill down manually. Manually pulling it down allows you to feel the bit cutting and its used to drill small holes where too much pressure can break the bit.
