Title:
East Broad Top - W. E. Shipley Drill Press - Video #1
Description:
This W. E. Shipley drill press resides in the Machine Shop of the East Broad Top Railroad in Rockhill Furnace, PA. It has probably been out of service since the railroad shutdown as a coal hauling railroad in 1956. That was the last time that the Coal boilers and the stationary steam engine that powered the tools in the shops were operated. The press is quipped with The drill stand about eight feet tall. It has eight speeds and a Cincinnati Machine Tools power feed. This video shows a test run after the machine was rehabilitated and brought back into service in the spring of 2008. Fortunately it was in very nice shape with little wear and no damage or abuse except for a few small drill craters in the table surface and a few chips out of the T-slots from normal use. It is using the original rejuvenated leather spindle belt relaced with new leather lace. It is being operated by a mobile power rig built by FEBT member Dave Richards, who also rehabilitated the machine. Being portable the rig has only a 1/4 HP motor so the machine is run in very slow speed. The rig is designed to step down the motors speed and convert the V belt drive to the leather flat belt drive that the machine used traditionally. During this test it successfully In this video the machine can be seen drilling a 1/2" hole in 3/4" steel plate. In later tests after a larger 3/4 HP test rig was installed it successfully drilled a 2" hole in 2" steel. It is but the first of many machine tools in the EBT shops that Friends of the East Broad Top hopes to bring back into operating condition. Visit us at www.febt.org for more information on our mission, the preservation and restoration of the East Broad Top Railroad.
