Brown Boggs was established in 1890 in Hamilton ON, and manufactured quality sheet metal machines. The press was donated by the Walters Axe Co. in 1973. The factory made axes for Canadians, Americans, and 21 other countries starting in 1854. It is now closed due to heavy competition from chain saws. Apparently the Walters Axe Co. was the first to make the power saw axe, but they did not patent the design. Brown Boggs also made tinsmiths' tools, heavy sheet metal working machinery, can-making machinery and evaporating machinery. Labels: 321-A, C110, C307(all on the back of press). Active rust on the machine. On the front of the press there is a strange metal-type substance that looks as though it has been melted over time.
Function
Metal shaping tool. A piece of sheet metal is punched onto a blanking die to obtain a certain profile of metal. The blanking punch penetrates the sheet and forces the material into a blanking die.
Technical
Components can be produced in each part of the blanking press. Able to get a pre-determined size of sheet metal. Can do a variety of light work, and comes with a bench for convenience. During the axe-making process, bars of metal were cut to a proper length, then successively heated and punched until they were at the proper temperature. The pieces were then put onto the blanking die in the shape of the finished axe, and the dies were pressed down four times.
