    Hendey Planer & Shaper way drip cups

    RCPDesigns: It may take a day or two to go through the files to get the information you need about pulley speed and the drip cup dimensions. The cups are a two part assembly, the hanger rod and the cup proper. With all of the moving of my shop, I have had limited time do any research. When...

    Eric Teets: Before you can determine if a particular part will fit your machine, you need to determine the year of manufacture.

Check your taper again to avoid buying any incorrect tooling...

    Otto gas 1 cylinder sold for BIG $. Any connection to Canedy-Otto?

    The Otto and Langen engine is a free piston engine than has a very clever clutch to control the piston. When in operation, the piston sounds like it is trying to leave the building. The clutch mechanism is a bit noisy, but is very sure in operation. The only one I knew of was operating a sack...
