Wiley & Russell – Green River No.740 Post Drill

This is not mine. I spotted it on the web.

Run of feed = 3¾"; run of table = 13"; dia. of spindle = 1 1/8"; crank gear has 34 teeth; spindle cog has 22 teeth. Table is 8" diameter and has a separate hinged yoke beneath.

Comments: Note the strap at the top of the main casting (between flywheel and feedwheel). This was added because the locking bolt had stripped the thread in the main casting.

Comments: Front view. The downfeed handwheel looks to be identical to that used on the No.741, except that it is located 90 degrees to the left of the No.741.

Comments: Table base. The two outermost (vertical) lugs have inclined inner faces, so the table dovetails onto the fork. the screw is then tightened to prevent it slipping. Note the part number "W&R 124".
