13 forum posts 3 photos | Hi Guys, I have just refurbished a Meddings MF4 drill press but the quill spring, as is a common thing, is broken. Meddings would like £30 for a new, old stock replacement. I think this is rather pricey and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the ebay versions and which one I would need to replace my damaged one. Cheers |

You can guarantee it WILL fit and it will last for a long time, fantastic drill whether its a simple belt drive or the two speed gearbox plus belt drive both are excellent machines I refurbed one I purchased, 2 speed box some years ago with new bearings a large tufnell gear and the spring.
