Hi Bob hope you can find the Microfich would be good to see them.

Just an update on the post. No drawing seem available so I took a D520 to bits to see what went where, fairly basic but a lot more spring washers! Cleaned out all the old grease from the housing, gears and bearings and repacked with Lithium grease. The improvement in running was noticeable as...

Just an update for those interested. Thanks for the links supplied and suggestions. Based in the UK finding one of these couplers was to say the least difficult, it would be cheaper and easier to import from the states, you guys are lucky to have such an availability of fixtures, fittings...

Thanks everybody for the replies very helpful. As you requested a picture I've attached one. The coupler for the sanding bobbin is to go on the end drum shaft, opposite end to the pulley drive. For those who wonder what a linisher is this one is made by Picador and long out of business in the...

Yes its a 1/2 hp electric motor with a Picador linisher. The linisher has a drum on each end I'm going to add a further spindle to one shaft. Its not fast but it does what I need in terms of stock removal just fine.

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if it will work or not, looks expensive but I'll contact them and see what they have. Thanks....

Hi, I'm modifying an old linishing machine to fit a sanding bobbin on one of the drum shafts, basically I want to extend a 5/8" diameter shaft and couple it to a 1/2" diameter shaft, in line without using gears, although that would be nice later on, which hold the sanding bobbin. I've seen...

This is an update on an earlier post so apologies for the repeat. Awaiting contact from a forum member but thought I'd try the forum again. I'm looking for assembly drawing or exploded diagram for an old B&D drill. The model is the V820 Mastercraft, 13mm chuck 400w, two speed. It may be...

Hi thanks for the reply. I rebuilt the drill taking notice of diameters and the witness marks, one of the problems is the two speed assembly, if something is out of register or position selecting gear it jams. I thought it was jamming on the stator/brushes and it may have been on the old...

I am looking for an assembly drawing or exploded diagram for an old Black and Decker Two Speed Drill. The drill was jammed so after disassembly/cleaning and new brushes I think it should be fine. Unfortunately I don't think the bearing, washers, spacers etc. are in their correct places. Does...

Thanks Dutchgray you have shown the assembly, I notice there is no step on your plain section of spindle this must be where mine is worn and jamming. Appreciated

Hi new member to the forum so hello. Looking for some information on a Record No 3 4" vise. When the vise is closed to clamp an item and then released the jaws remain closed or jammed, to release the jaws usually requires tapping the slide or jaw. I think this may have been apart before so...
