Fobco_Mercer_Pillar Drill_Restoration

[Bungyd]

Three drills in total, two Fobco Stars, one already stripped and a rare Mercer, I picked up all three for less than £200. I'll be restoring all three over the summer and looking to fit VFD's to the Fobco's plus complete restore, bearings etc. The Mercer is a really well made drill and still deciding on colour, A bit different as from a paper mill and missing table and it had an extended shaft onto the Jacobs Chuck threaded section. Looking to update as I build.

Nice things to use and well worth restoring

We currently have a Medding's floor stander, Startrite bench mounted and a 1946 Progress Number 1 that came with a workbench, winchboy only wanted the bench but they had to be sold together, the progress is a 3 man lift, but we don't need it so its going to be sold. Winchboy wants a Geared Pollard so he has saved a space for one in case one comes along
