Make sure you use a 5/16" BSW screw, or it won't fit the spanner. cheeky


I would have thought 1 1/8” uns would be better 😂

Has anyone got a wheel/ hub puller tool for a Jones & Shipman 540 ? And if so could you post a picture of it so I can make one. Many thanks in advance Mark

The hole near the front has a spring in it with the ball the hole behind lets you release the ball1533149e-7c0e-49c5-b0f5-e1f29c45314e.jpeg

Thanks for the reply I’m assuming that your picture is of a Fobco Star !? There is a one hole underneath that feels like it has a ball bearing in it. It does release the drum to spin both ways if I insert a screwdriver. I have now found out that the contractor inside has a burnt out coil. So I’m trying to source one the will fit inside the machine. Thank you to everyone else who replied. mark

I acquired a 7/8 Fobco drill press today along with Jones and Shipman 540surface grinder . The drill press is a non runner. I’m hoping it’s an easy fix. But I noticed the quill does not return had quick look and no return spring. Lathes .co.uk do the spring so no problem there but the housing just spins does anyone have a drawing of this assembly or a manual please. I am also looking for a manual and any useful info on the surface grinder. Many thanks in advance Mark.
