I picked this one up at a school auction . I'd guess it's about a 1950 vintage but I'm not sure. This poor thing was in really bad shape. I completely disassembled it, sandblasted, repainted & replaced all the bearings.

Th spindles use a MT1 end. A MT1 X 1/2" end mill arbor with ground rod make satisfactory replacements. Both 9" and 4 1/2" replacement drums are readily available. I made a set of both 9" and 4 1/2" spindles and drums. The 4 1/2" get used 90% if the time and save a lot on abrasives.

Drive shaft ball bearing (called a “water pump bearing”) - NSK 885141
Drive shaft seal - TCM part 06112TB-H
Spindle shaft bearings - Nachi 6204 LL

The machine specs call for a 2-1/2" diameter motor pulley, and a 1725 RPM motor, which runs the spindle at 2250 rpm. This is true throughout the production-life of the OSS, whether Boice-Crane, Wilton-Boice-Crane, or Gothenburg-Boice-Crane.
