Meddings Pillar Drill 17604-m4-mk3

[BillyBradshaw]

Morning all,

I've just acquired a Meddings pillar drill after ditching a brand new Clarke drill almost immediately after buying it...........The Meddings is in great shape apart from the electrics. At some point it has been hooked up to a DrivLoc pendulum switch and a Jet Brake module and therefore the original electrics have been butchered. I would like to return the electrics to the original standard but I'm struggling to find a circuit diagram to help me. Also please bear in mind that I'm colour blind......ha ha ha, electrics and poor colour vision isn't a great combination

Can anybody out there help me out please? Also, as I only have single phase in my garage I'm going to buy a VFD, could you suggest a make and model that would suit this drill please?

Thanks very much in anticipation

Ian

Surely the drill is safer to use with a jet brake fitted, you'll certainly be glad of the option to stop it instantly if a bit of swarf grabs your wrist and starts pulling it into the drill.

Try Google - there seems to be a few Meddings manuals available for download.
