I agree with the other commenters, that machine deserves a restoration! It fits in so well with your channel. Also props to senior for getting it running. Id like to see him more on the channel
The old drill press is a beautiful piece of art. You prove they are worth having. I have two bench models that I need a few parts for. I will restore them. Thank You
That is one sweet old drill - that line drive stuff is always fascinating to me. It was probably east to drill through the table with the auto feed turned on as guys likely would walk away and forget. At least manual feeding it you know when your through your steel.
Good job! I am a Machinist and yes it really chaps my hide to see a drill press table or vise full of holes, it means somebody just didn't care. Side note, I get asked a lot how big to make a pilot hole for a given size drill, the answer is only big enough to clear the chisel point on the finish drill size. So in your case, about 3/16" would have been plenty. The cutting edge on a twist drill actually lasts longer if the whole width of the edge is engaged in the cut. Not criticizing, just trying to be helpful.
Guys often say that their light duty drills "run to fast and burn up large drills" but the issue isn't that isn't that they run to fast. Its that they don't have the rigidity to "push" a drill as hard as it needs to be run at that RPM. And even if they did it would scare the crap out of them LoL. You can easily push that drill at a couple of hundred RPM. I've done it in my Buffalo #22. Its 4 Morse taper machine with a 2 HP motor. Fun to make straw colored chips on a drill. Helps to have a good share point.
Squatch, my 1990-vintage Rigid drill press has drilled everything I needed it to - including 1" holes in 1" plate... but your machine gives me drill-envy 🤣.
My wife was born and raised in Chicago Heights. She lived about two blocks away from where Canedy Otto would have been located. It looks like the factory was in the Heights from about 1895 to 1949.
The proof lies in the camera, well at least I thought that was the case. You mentioned in this video that you are 6ft 2in tall. I think because you mostly have the camera angle facing down to you it left me with the impression that you were a shorter man and so I that is what thought since I started watching your channel a few years ago. Well you burst that bubble! Too funny! Good Video, as usual! Cheers
Toby, I would enjoy watching your dad tinker on the Candy Otto. Not a full tear down, just a clean up, service and a coat of paint. Detail out those beautiful cast raised letters too. I bet he could fix that Auto feeder also. Please ask him to consider doing the videos.
I have a Canedy-Otto 21, that came out of Piper Aircraft in Lock Haven PA. A little different design. Mine has the auto-feed, but if has an auto disengage when it gets to bottom of feed.
Love that old drill!!!!......when I was a kid, my uncle worked in a large tractor dealer, one time he took me upstairs to the machine shop. There were several large machines that ran off a master shaft with belts. Wish I could see again (dealer long closed) Way cool, but it would give OSHA a heart attack today!!!!!!
At first I thought the tractor in the background was the new acquisition that needed work and had been left outside for a long time. Then I realized it was 5J1113! Great job!
My dad bought a very similar very used camel back drill press back in the sixties. It had flat belts and open gears and no safety guards at all. That's what our family used while growing up. One day my brother had a serious accident by letting his hair get too close to the main spindle and it ripped the skin out of his scalp the size of a quarter. Dad left some of his hair on the drill press as a reminder to us all. But I love those giant antique drill presses! I picked up a 1937 Delta benchtop drill press that I was able to rebuild and put into common use. I also put a reversing switch on it just for the fun of it. Some people like to use those for tapping. I also put a grinding wheel or wire wheel on their for things that are too big for my bench grinder. I just really love antique machinery and love driving old tractors. And I love your channel.
Oil all those holes (cutting oil)...and put some grease on the gears, don't be stingy with the cutting oil on those drill bits (abom79 drowns his..lol)...it's easier to clean up excess oil than re-sharpen a dull/worn out bit ;) Pretty cool old school drill rig! Keep em coming!!!!
I have one too. Any idea what I should sell mine for? When I bought it over ten years ago I saw one in pieces with a lot of rust and a broken bull gear on a trailer covered with snow someone sold for $1500. It's been my intention to make a TH-cam video and restore it. I'm pretty sure I would get more money from the monetization than I'd get for a dozen of the machines. Just getting old and downsizing after selling one of my shops. It's in southeast Texas if anyone is looking for one. But I'm swamped with things to restore and am 67 years old so it's time to let someone else have a shot at it.
We were still selling leather belt and lacing for line shafts and equipment like this in the 80's and 90's. My company probably still sells it today.. That gear is probably still available from Martin or Browning...I have seen some youtube videos of people replacing gear teeth by hand...
I bought a 20" "Buffler Forg'e" (Buffalo Forge) a couple of years ago. Bit of of a process to operate, but still does quite well in spite of the wear it has. I got it fairly cheap because the motor had locked up. Plain bearings, it was a matter of knocking it apart, honing the bearings a little, some polish on the main shaft. Cleaned about a century worth of metal chips and oily goo from the windings while it was apart. It's currently the easiest running motor in my shop.
Beautiful old machine, not a semiconductor or microchip in sight and after what must have been a hard life still doing what it was built to do, which modern gear will not do. Good on yous for rescuing it and giving it a good home. Electrical installation pretty good as no sign of lights dimming on startup. 😄😄👍👍
When I first started working in a machine shop, I worked for a gentleman that still had flat belt equipment. He refused to switch to v belt. It was a learning experience to say the least. His sons finally changed the equipment to more modern style. If ever there was a candidate that deserves to be restored this one is ready for it. Love seeing that equipment. Thanks for showing that to us.
I remember Mr Sawbergers machine shop in Tex, was my neighbor right after I returned FROM Vietnam. His machine shop was filled with equipment like that all flat belt stuff, I rem on huge lathe he had, 48 in+ chuck. I don't know what happened to the equipment after he died. He was notorious for operating 5-6 piece of equipment at one time, he made lots of money.
Your drill press looks older the mine. Watch those coils of metal my father had his finger cut to the bone once, was a good thing grandmother was a nurse she sowed it up at the kitchen table, oh and roto magic cutting oil is better for the bits it is water based one gallon will make 40 gallon of cutting fluid and you can spray it on with a spray bottle so you can spray a constant flow to cool the bit roto magic is a true bit saver
Those drill presses are oldies but goldies. Sibley is a better known brand for that style of drill press. It's nice to have, if you can get your hands on one.
Wow, 50 years ago our company had an old Camel Back DP. Ordinarily driven with a 4” leather belt on a line shaft suspended from the shop ceiling. It was built like a tank. In later years it was self powered with a 5 hp electric motor. We drilled cast iron fire hydrant pots (flanges} for 3 quarter inch bolts. I’m guessing it was built around 1900 or earlier, still in use in 2005 when we sold the company.
Toby,a machinist told me that the only reason to drill fast was for a finished hole. Also, that low speed is perfect for drilling stainless steel, in my experience. Great video. Thanks for posting. Steve
I actually have a hand crank post drill similar to that. It also has power feed down. It uses a set screw to hold the bit in. I’m guessing it’s from the late 1800’s. Unfortunately have not found any name or identifying numbers on it at all. Still attached to the board it was mounted to the post with. Original square head lag bolts too.
I have drill very simmilar, Its a Denbigh and its of British manufacture. About the same sizebelt drive its very good for drilling holes in wear plates as it goes right down to 27rpm
Looks like the one of the drill presses I used in high school shop class, back in the late 60s early 70s, minus some safety guards, and I'd imagine some are still in use in some factories around the world. In most factories that I've worked in in my long life the mentality is, if it still does the job intended why replace it. The table is oh so familiar to me, minus the damage, thanks for the memories, Squash.
Great history to view working. On our family ranch, had a very large drill press, the belt drive replaced and used some old tractor transmission for speed control. thank :)
Some years ago I bought a Buffalo tree drill (camel back). It was at a surplus sale at The University of Nevada Reno. It looks to be about 1/2 again as big as yours. The paperwork that came with it said it was originally bought by the school in 1921. Because it's like new condition and extremely robust quill assembly we use it for re-boring Model A Ford Engines. Works amazingly well and precise.
Since I have a lathe with an MT2 tailstock quill and just got an MT2 drill press, I've been buying and rehabbing used MT1 and MT2 drill bits. Morse taper bits are EXPENSIVE!
We had a press like that at Mohawk Tire & Rubber (Akron) in the 70s when I worked there (4 1/2yr) after the Navy tour. All of the old Line Drive hardware had been removed by then and the press was electrified but working fine. I drilled many a heavy motor mounting base on that machine and as a young electrician starting out I was fascinated with its simplicity and strength.
I would love to have old machine tools like that. Restore it and keep it in my shop. Even if it never sees work, give it the care it deserves in its retirement.
A local guy to me had one used regularly but he retired three years ago he was going to send it to scrap but I arranged for it to go to a local car Restoration company in town they still us this and the ancient saw that was also belt and the large motor drive too
Great drill press glad to see old machines like this getting some work done!! Can't wait to see the track press work!! Remember years ago when I was small my dad had a Case 310 dozer and someone had a portable track press came to ous place and did new pins and bushings with it!! Stay safe always!!
I recall congratulating you in the Comments section when you hit 50K subscribers, and now you are over 60K. Congratulations again, Toby. Your content is unmatched in this genre. No disrespect to Matt, Kenny, and/or Kyle, but your videos will be the standards in tractor and crawler restoration and repair for decades to come.
That's a good drill. The camel backs like that are getting harder to come by. I completely rebuilt my 23" W.F.&J Barnes Camel back. I put a VFD drive on mine with a 3 phase 2hp inverter duty motor with the variable speed controller. Mine has the planetary gearing in the drive cone pulley which gives direct and deep reduction, then the 4 steps for the belt like yours. I have near limitless speed selection with this setup, but what is nice is I can change speeds in any belt position without having to throw the belt. I had two teeth gone on the worm feed gear like yours. I brazed them up and hand dressed them until they meshed properly. My power feed works very nice with no issues yet. My drill table was fairly decent but still had some pretty good pecker tracks in it, so I brazed those up and put it in the lathe and re-faced the entire table surface. The biggest hole I have drilled to date is 2 1/2" x 2" deep and it didn't even break a sweat. I would love to see you give your machine a rebuild and keep her going strong. Would make some good video.
That took me back to when i was an apprentice,i worked in a bus garage and everything was made on site i think the only thing that wasn't was the white metal crank bearings and we used to grind them to size
Great find! My wife and i were looking on social media for woodworking machinery, and we ran across a Canedy-Otto bench top drill press. I had never heard of the brand before, but bought it anyway because it looked so cool! Ours is a 50's model so it came with a motor (still has the original). They are very heavy duty machines and look cool as hell. Yours is definitely worth restoring. 😊
The guide sticking out the side by the step pulley was for a shifter sure enough, but it ran a fork that ran the belt from the lineshaft to the bottom from a tight loose pulley. It was the on off switch. There's another protrusion on the left side of the foot frame that held part of the pedal the operator ran with his foot. I have a Champion Blower and Forge 20" camelback that I did a clean up on. There's a whole Playlist on my channel.
That's a awesome old drill press . I bought a heavy duty craftsman drill press from my neighbor a few years ago that has been a good investment. your drill press reminds me of a milling machine that I ran years ago at the local little machine shop I needed stuff built and the owner was too busy so he told me to come over and he would show me how to run his machines that was run we were drilling thru 1/2 inch thick steel plates it was a good learning experience
Great work on the D2, the track press, and the drill press. Odd no one tbought to put shear pins on the drive line for the auto-feed. Would have safed the drive gear teeth but never hurt the work piece or the drill bit. Nice improvement if you rebuild the auto-feed.
I also follow David Richards on TH-cam. He has a steam powered machine shop and he uses same drill and it, like the rest of his shop, is line shaft powered. A thing of beauty.
Braze the gear, it's such a small one that you can hand file it back to shape on the machine. She's worth the effort, plus the auto-feed is so smooth on these small size camelbacks.
My wife would kill me if I used an old oily antique machine in a white shirt. Nice drill press, I bet Eric over at Hand Tool Rescue would love to restore it.
Wonderful old drill press. I learned on one of those when I was around ten years old. My dad had ether that model or the next up at his marina here in Honey Harbour ON. He passed and everything sold. He had a 20 ton Gerlinger forklift for moving boats around and that's all he had to move this behemoth. His was not in as good of shape or even close to as clean as yours. I don't recall the large gear at the back end of the feed shaft but it may have always been covered in stuff. Funny (maybe not so much funny but ...) the drive gear for the power feed was stripped just like yours. He took a couple of gears off trying to use it like a press by pressing some gears off a prop shaft. Good memories of the belt clasp click. Oh ya. NOTHING safe about this machine!!!!!!! Still have most of the fingers and toes! Very cool to see one in action again. Thanks.
I was close to a tool maker once in Ohio. He taught me a lot but I always remembers these two things. 1) Don't use end mills to make counter bores, use a flat bottom aka 180* drill and 2) don't drill pre holes because you need to support the entire cutting edge of the drill. Just use a spotting drill at a correct depth. Anyways I still make pre holes unless I'm on the CNC.
That right there is a great old machine, I hope you do her up and fix that broken quill drive gear, while you are at it put an emergency motor cut out switch somewhere so you can kill the motor instantly if the work grabs the drill and spins round on you, at the moment having to bend down round the back of the machine isn't ideal. Thanks for showing us this and take care of yourself friend
Great old drill press. There's a fellow you tuber . Keath Rucker does all them old drill and stuff. I'm guessing he could proudly make you a new feed geer. Might want to check him out. Great video.
Such a nice old drillpress! Might need some tlc but for the work you are doing with it, why not use it as is. It still does what it is meant to do... My grandpa was managing the tiny local waterturbine electric plant at the river "Kocher" in a very small town in southern Germany which contained a whole workshop of machines. All flat belt driven by the pelton turbine. As a young kid I always was so impressed by the humming and flapping noises this anitque shop produced. Even if it is nearly 50 years ago, I sometimes remember a few impressions of these days and stil love it - kind of the music of my childhood
I would love to see you try to get either that gear fixed or find a new gear that will work and get the auto feed working you know be great to have the thing all 100% maybe even really clean it up and restore it to its original colors that it came from the factory
I have a very similar machine, a Denbeigh. It has a somewhat different power feed that I never use. A previous owner repowered with a small DC motor with an electronic variable speed reversible drive that he scrounged somewhere. I paid $300 for it and I wouldn't part with it.
That beast belongs on the battleship USS New Jersey. Impressive! (the youtube channel Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial has a few vids that show off that old gal's still functional machine shop. Squatch would likely find himself in heaven there!)
Those older equipment is nice too work with they’re Pretty cheap to get but osha doesn’t like them very much When filling I use a cheap paint brush to clear chips away from work area Keep up the great content 😎
Great video and drill press 💪 love using k taper drills no chuck slipping 🙄 surprised you controlled your eyebrows from twitching with that bent nail on the rise an fall table lock lever 🤔😂👌

Please please please restore that wonderful antique drill press. Do a playlist of videos for that.

I used to pass by that building all the time, great pizza joint a few blocks away Little Al (Scarface) Capone used to own. Great deep dish pizza!
That drill is awesome definitely built to last thanks for sharing
This seems like a great collab opportunity for you and Keith Rucker! This would be right up his alley!
Right! Keith would braze the broken teeth and mill new ones.

Keep em coming!!!!
That's an awesome old drill press! I have one VERY similar!
I have one too.
Any idea what I should sell mine for?
When I bought it over ten years ago I saw one in pieces with a lot of rust and a broken bull gear on a trailer covered with snow someone sold for $1500.
It's been my intention to make a TH-cam video and restore it. I'm pretty sure I would get more money from the monetization than I'd get for a dozen of the machines. Just getting old and downsizing after selling one of my shops.
It's in southeast Texas if anyone is looking for one.
But I'm swamped with things to restore and am 67 years old so it's time to let someone else have a shot at it.
Those old camel back drill presses are still superior to anything you buy today. Always enjoy your dedication to preserving the old equipment.

That is how things used to be made, so much better quality than some of the stuff that is made now.
Nice video! Really enjoyed seeing that old drill press! I really like that old yellow out feed table!👍🏼
I actually have a hand crank post drill similar to that. It also has power feed down. It uses a set screw to hold the bit in. I’m guessing it’s from the late 1800’s. Unfortunately have not found any name or identifying numbers on it at all. Still attached to the board it was mounted to the post with. Original square head lag bolts too.
That drill press is just the ticket for that work, I've got a similar CM lots of speeds, none slow enough.
What a neat machine! A drill press is one tool I don’t yet have. After burning up my drill it’s on the list.
Hey hope you're having a great weekend and I love the D2 build can't wait to see the prototype Minneapolis Moline tractor get finished too
I have drill very simmilar, Its a Denbigh and its of British manufacture. About the same sizebelt drive its very good for drilling holes in wear plates as it goes right down to 27rpm
I wouldn't restore it but I would fix the mechanical things to make it functional as it's designed to do. Great vid, thank you!
Nothing beats the old goodies from then!! That is awesome

ding ding ding...that guy could easily rebuild one of those worm gear things and help you restore that bad boy!!!!
Very nice machine. Smooth and quiet.

I had two teeth gone on the worm feed gear like yours. I brazed them up and hand dressed them until they meshed properly. My power feed works very nice with no issues yet. My drill table was fairly decent but still had some pretty good pecker tracks in it, so I brazed those up and put it in the lathe and re-faced the entire table surface. The biggest hole I have drilled to date is 2 1/2" x 2" deep and it didn't even break a sweat. I would love to see you give your machine a rebuild and keep her going strong. Would make some good video.
That took me back to when i was an apprentice,i worked in a bus garage and everything was made on site i think the only thing that wasn't was the white metal crank bearings and we used to grind them to size
Great to see it comeing along and nice seeing you too bud.
When I was in high school we had a step belt drill from ww2 army that was in 1975.
You can't save them all, Squatch. Keep it as nice as it is, and let'er rip :)
Seems right to repair a pre-war Caterpillar with a flat-belt-driven drill press.
That drill is a nice piece. I could see a short series of videos with you restoring that.
Great find! My wife and i were looking on social media for woodworking machinery, and we ran across a Canedy-Otto bench top drill press. I had never heard of the brand before, but bought it anyway because it looked so cool! Ours is a 50's model so it came with a motor (still has the original). They are very heavy duty machines and look cool as hell. Yours is definitely worth restoring. 😊
Sweet ole drill press
The guide sticking out the side by the step pulley was for a shifter sure enough, but it ran a fork that ran the belt from the lineshaft to the bottom from a tight loose pulley. It was the on off switch. There's another protrusion on the left side of the foot frame that held part of the pedal the operator ran with his foot.
I have a Champion Blower and Forge 20" camelback that I did a clean up on. There's a whole Playlist on my channel.
That's a awesome old drill press . I bought a heavy duty craftsman drill press from my neighbor a few years ago that has been a good investment. your drill press reminds me of a milling machine that I ran years ago at the local little machine shop I needed stuff built and the owner was too busy so he told me to come over and he would show me how to run his machines that was run we were drilling thru 1/2 inch thick steel plates it was a good learning experience
Great work on the D2, the track press, and the drill press.
Odd no one tbought to put shear pins on the drive line for the auto-feed.
Would have safed the drive gear teeth but never hurt the work piece or the drill bit.
Nice improvement if you rebuild the auto-feed.
I also follow David Richards on TH-cam. He has a steam powered machine shop and he uses same drill and it, like the rest of his shop, is line shaft powered. A thing of beauty.
Braze the gear, it's such a small one that you can hand file it back to shape on the machine. She's worth the effort, plus the auto-feed is so smooth on these small size camelbacks.
My wife would kill me if I used an old oily antique machine in a white shirt. Nice drill press, I bet Eric over at Hand Tool Rescue would love to restore it.
That's an awesome drill press. I would fix what needs to be fixed but leave the patina the way it is.
Keith Rucker, Vintage Machinery, could replicate those gears.
Wonderful old drill press. I learned on one of those when I was around ten years old. My dad had ether that model or the next up at his marina here in Honey Harbour ON. He passed and everything sold. He had a 20 ton Gerlinger forklift for moving boats around and that's all he had to move this behemoth. His was not in as good of shape or even close to as clean as yours. I don't recall the large gear at the back end of the feed shaft but it may have always been covered in stuff. Funny (maybe not so much funny but ...) the drive gear for the power feed was stripped just like yours. He took a couple of gears off trying to use it like a press by pressing some gears off a prop shaft. Good memories of the belt clasp click. Oh ya. NOTHING safe about this machine!!!!!!! Still have most of the fingers and toes! Very cool to see one in action again. Thanks.
I was close to a tool maker once in Ohio. He taught me a lot but I always remembers these two things. 1) Don't use end mills to make counter bores, use a flat bottom aka 180* drill and 2) don't drill pre holes because you need to support the entire cutting edge of the drill. Just use a spotting drill at a correct depth. Anyways I still make pre holes unless I'm on the CNC.
That right there is a great old machine, I hope you do her up and fix that broken quill drive gear, while you are at it put an emergency motor cut out switch somewhere so you can kill the motor instantly if the work grabs the drill and spins round on you, at the moment having to bend down round the back of the machine isn't ideal. Thanks for showing us this and take care of yourself friend
I have a foot switch on my camelback drill press, almost tipped it over when a heavy part caught and spun around, put the foot switch on after that.
Beautiful old machine! Thank you for sharing!
Great old drill press. There's a fellow you tuber . Keath Rucker does all them old drill and stuff. I'm guessing he could proudly make you a new feed geer. Might want to check him out. Great video.
What a wickedly awesome drill press!! 😍
My grand dad had one like it but a later design had full guards and he also had a flat belt 16 or 18 foot lathe along with his Bridgeport's endmill
Best regards from Santiago of Chile, Southamerica!!... I appreciation all your TH-cam video... God bless you and your families and friends in EEUU!!
Such a nice old drillpress! Might need some tlc but for the work you are doing with it, why not use it as is. It still does what it is meant to do...
My grandpa was managing the tiny local waterturbine electric plant at the river "Kocher" in a very small town in southern Germany which contained a whole workshop of machines. All flat belt driven by the pelton turbine. As a young kid I always was so impressed by the humming and flapping noises this anitque shop produced. Even if it is nearly 50 years ago, I sometimes remember a few impressions of these days and stil love it - kind of the music of my childhood
Nice machine, chips coming off shows good sharpening too.
Love those old machines. Metal Lathes and all. Great Video on it..
I would love to see you try to get either that gear fixed or find a new gear that will work and get the auto feed working you know be great to have the thing all 100% maybe even really clean it up and restore it to its original colors that it came from the factory
I have a very similar machine, a Denbeigh. It has a somewhat different power feed that I never use. A previous owner repowered with a small DC motor with an electronic variable speed reversible drive that he scrounged somewhere. I paid $300 for it and I wouldn't part with it.
I'm almost convinced those old machines like that have a soul.
Man that’s an amazing piece of machinery you got there Squatch! They sure don’t make them like they used too! Nice!👌😎👍
That beast belongs on the battleship USS New Jersey. Impressive!
(the youtube channel Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial has a few vids that show off that old gal's still functional machine shop. Squatch would likely find himself in heaven there!)
please restore that old beauty. "Squatch style" keep the rust but make 100% functional again. you know you want auto feed working again
In the mid 70s I worked at a citrus company in the machine shop we had 1 like the dated back to 1931 as was the 2 lathes and some milling machines
Those older equipment is nice too work with they’re
Pretty cheap to get but osha doesn’t like them very much
When filling I use a cheap paint brush to clear chips away from work area
Keep up the great content 😎
That's a cool tool. Can't wait until the lithium rechargeable / blue tooth compatible version comes out!!
Great video and drill press 💪 love using k taper drills no chuck slipping 🙄 surprised you controlled your eyebrows from twitching with that bent nail on the rise an fall table lock lever 🤔😂👌
