Anyone familiar with RSB Machines???
I'm trying to research RSB but the only link or reference I can find is this Utube video of a camelback drill.

Got a little bit more info over in the metalwork section
https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...80#post1751780
Still left with heaps of questions, the list keep growing. I don't think I can restore it as per original as I have no reference but I hope to make it at least authentic in concept and use period correct designs from other drills as inspiration for making the missing bits.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Concept - 33.jpg
The lower section of the pillar should be polished, it has currently been painted. It is a bearing surface for the table so slide on and rotate so I will strip it back again.
The same with the raised centre of the table, although I would like to have that ground, so it is true, flat and perpendicular to the column/drill bit.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

The Uni of Melbourne has business records for Miller & Co (Machinery) Pty Ltd.
Maybe it's worth contacting them.

They have at least 79 archive boxes full of stuff from Miller & Co.
Got to be a catalogue in there somewhere.

Those links aren't online, it would mean an actual trip to the University library.
Look at this!!! Not my exact model!…..Love to get the booklet they mention at the bottom of the page…..So if I find a Miller's Catalogue around 1917 I might be in luck.
DSEL74 I looked through all my catalogues with no result, but then my googlling came up with this ! ? http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPD...20-%200849.PDF

RSB = RS Brookman and Co. of 14 Wellesley Avenue, Hammersmith (written out for future reference in case the link disappears).
You'll be pleased DSEL. Now you know what your restored drill press should look like.

Well not quite, mine is a different model to those shown, but I think the spindle pulley and mule pulley arrangements should be the same. The lower stepped pulley and slow/fast are in a different place. But it is a really good bit of info and miles ahead of where I was in terms of being accurate.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Well at the moment we are finalising DA plans for a KDR so any of the machines I have ( I bought a Superior pedestal drill of a similar vintage a few weeks ago as well ) will have to wait until the house is finished. In the meantime I'll look for parts like cone pulleys, belt pulleys, old motors etc
All of them I plan to restore as close as possible to original condition.

Glad to hear it will be put back to as original as possible.
It looks like the lower lip of the table has been removed from all but the back.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

I just had another look at it and I'm pretty sure the table hasn't been altered. It doesn't have any hack marks from a grinder blade etc and looks like the original casting on the lower edge. It also has the original paint on those edges as well.
