hello all,
Can anyone say what the pros and cons are for powering an old Canedy -Otto 21" Camelback drill press with 110 or 220 v motor?
Iam getting ready to restore this old DP and need to mount an old 1HP induction motor as primary power source. I can wire the motor for either 110 or 220 single phase. I have both circuits in the shop, so no big deal either way. The DP does have power down feed, so potentially it could hog out a lot of material while drilling with a large bit, or threading with a tap if I add a taping head.
I am thinking of going with 110v as it is a little more convenient regarding location on the shop floor. Also, might be easier to sell latter on when we downsize.
However I really don't have a feel for how the DP would actually work with 110 versus 220. Is their advantage, one way or the other?
Looks like prior to this, the DP was run off a line shaft!
Thanks much,
Glenn
