This is a detail of another listing.

I am submitting these photo's of the mortising attachment of the "Oliver" 194 mortising machine to help others understand how the mortiser attachments are configured as wells as to figure out how to get the ferrule off to allow the lower bearing replacement of motor. The ferrule connects collets and drill to the motor spindle via two set screws on both sides. The 1/8" inch whole was their for a spacer between collet and spindle. Great machine, ALREADY HAVE USED THIS FOR SEVERAL PEICES OF FURNITURE.

This is a BRACKETT mortiser originally made in madison wisconsin: bought out by Oliver. These are rare machines and rarely seen because they are rare...

Ferrule is compression fit, or mine was a little frozen due to years of use, it had made a few 360's on the motor spindle of the years, I would say 3 or 4 times around which made a few burrs.

Called Eagle Machinery in Michigan, these guys refurbish old Oliver's and own the rights to the Oliver heritage to some degree. a very fine gentleman looked at the original drawings and told me how it was manufactured which allowed me to repair motor successfully. The birth-date of this machine is oct. 1930 and went to a school in Harrisburg Illinois. Pretty cool. The person who ordered this machine may have been born on or around the civil war. (ROMANTIC thinking of this stuff)
