Buffalo Forge made a wide range of other products not within the scope of this site, including forges, air handling equipment, and air conditioners. Buffalo's classic 15" drill press was introduced in In the design was updated. The quickest way to identify whether a drill press is of the old or new design is to look for the integrated switch box in front of the quill—if present, the drill press is from or later.
Here are the major changes in the new design: A new sheet-metal belt guard encloses the entire top of the machine some old drills have been retrofit with the improved guard, so the presence of the guard is not a reliable indication of a redesigned drill press.
The head guard is hinged and spring-counterbalanced. Integral switch. The switch wiring is tucked away within the belt guard. The head is clamped to the column by a split bushing, which was claimed to hold more solidly than the previous head clamp, and would not score the column. The head casting is split so that it can be adjusted to take up wear. A spindle lock has been added. The spindle return spring is now adjustable without tools and has an anti-flyback feature to prevent it from suddenly unwinding.
The motor bracket is hinged to make speed changes easier. The designs of the both bench and floor bases were streamlined to make them easier to keep clean. A spindle lock is now provided so that the spindle can be fixed in place for those operations that require it, such as routing or shaping. Larger depth-stop nuts provide easier adjustment. Improved head-raising device, e. Other changes occurred over the years, both before and after the update. For example, the quill knobs changed to plastic in the mids.
A detailed type study would allow us to provide better manufacturing dates. If you are interested in volunteering for this effort, or have noted other changes to these drill presses, please contact us. Buffalo Machines, Inc. Additionally, they offer all replaceable tooling with over 10, parts in stock. Contact Information for Buffalo Machines, Inc. In , when the H.
This time Buffalo Forge is trying a different tactic: a court fight that uses the argument that a merger would violate antitrust and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The Ampco-Pittsburgh offer ''is inadequate and not in the best interests of the company or its shareholders,'' said David R.
Newcomb, president and chief executive officer. Newcomb would not put a value on the company, which still has its headquarters in the brick factory building in a rundown neighborhood where blacksmith forges once were made. Ampco already has purchased 72, shares, or 3. Faherty, an analyst with the Value Line Investment Survey, which told its clients that the Ampco offer ''looks like a good deal'' for Buffalo Forge stockholders.
Both companies manufacture industrial equipment. Last week, a Federal judge, John P. Curtin, ordered that the financial records of the Berkman company be turned over to Buffalo Forge. Named for its first product, a portable blacksmith's forge equipped with a small fan, Buffalo Forge has evolved into a major manufacturer of specialized industrial fans, pumps and machine tools. The portable fan grew into bigger fans and eventually into industrial air-conditioning equipment.
The tools used to make the forges became a separate line of machine tools used to punch, bend and shape metal.
