Canada
Drill presses were an essential part of Canadian machine shops in the 19th and 20th centuries. Before 1850, Canadian manufacturers were overshadowed by American and British technologies, but by 1860 major machine shops were implemented in Canada, most either using or manufacturing drill presses. These machine shops allowed Canadians to start building Canadian manufactured machines and initiated the industrial era in Canada (1850-1900). This particular drill press was donated by MONS, which could possibly be the Museum of Natural Sciences. However, it does not have any other important Canadian features. Hoefer Manufacturing Co. had exclusive agencies established in important cities in Canada circa 1908.
Function
Machines used to perforate holes in metal. A spindle turns the drill and advances it into the metal using a motor. Primarily produces holes in metal but can also be used to perform other metalworking tasks (eg. Reaming, counterboring, etc.)
Technical
Drill presses existed since the 19th century. Before electricity, hand-cranked drill presses were used, but the invention of motors brought about drill presses which were easier to operate. Motorized drill presses offered more secure operation and the angle of the spindle could be fixed for accurate, repetitive drilling. Worktable holds metal piece rigidly as the hole is drilled. Comes with motor manufactured by Century Electric Co., St. Louis. Century Electric Co, is now under A.O. Smith Electrical Products Co. Approximately 65 years old.
