Fobco star problems

[Jacktegla]

Hi I was recently given this drill by a family friend


and it is missing a few bits does anyone know where I could get these parts from.

The nuts for the height adjustment.

This screw that holds the size sign/plate on

Free Fobco? Lucky man!

I think the wee screws are B.A. thread but I don't recall which one.
Measure the diameter and pitch carefully (verniers or micrometers and thread gauges) and have a Google for thread charts online.
If you pick up a copy of the Model Engineer or Model Engineers Workshop from a newsagents (W.H. Smith usually keep it) there are suppliers of oddball fasteners that advertise in them.

Looks like you're short of the quill lock too BTW.

G&M Tools might have some Fobco parts kicking about but they do know how to charge for them. Otherwise stick a wanted ad on here as lots of forum members have them and may be able to help out.
