Like everything else, I hunted around and bought it secondhand one that has withstood everything that I have thrown at it. I have no
doubt that my son will pass it onto his son! Its a Canadian brand that, from research, looks like it was built in the 50's by the Canadian
Blower & Forge company. Cast iron, and so bloody heavy to make it a major 2 man lift to even budge it. Estimated weight is about
100 kilograms or 220 pounds and it runs a 1.5 Hp motor which is unstoppable. I bought it off an old bloke who used to drill 5/8" holes
in steel plate. Mind you, no pilot holes, just a 5/8" drill and bang! into it! So its a ripper that will last another 50 years.
