![]() 167 forum posts 15 photos | Hi all, I am in need of some help with an old Pacera (meddings) pillar drill I have in my garage/workshop. The quill leaks and I have tried to find a seal for this but I've not had any luck. Wondering if anyone knows where I can get one as apparently meddings don't sell them anymore. Thanks Damian

Just managed to sort out a pic so everyone can see what I'm talking about. As far as I know it's a Pacera MB4 |

I'll have to strip it down to measure it, I just wondered if anyone had done a refurb on one and could advise before I go down that route Edited By damian noble on 10/06/2016 14:47:43 |

1504 forum posts 142 photos | Damian, If you look at the Quill Assembly part of this page from my Meddings opins/manual you will see the bottom seal part number 80. This has, in the original, a lip on the outside of the quill. Instructions are " Lower Quill Seal" : item no 80 is replaced simply by prising the seal housing out of the quill with the aid of two screwdrivers and inserting new assembly....." If the seal has been replaced with a non-Meddings one then more digging required as there won't be the outside lip. Edit: the illustration is an MB4
