Here is the socket that's broken (brown) (the white one is a standard white I tried to fit - but don't think its realy suitable):

Anyone know if there is any electrical sockets that will fit a vintage bux magnetic drill (euro version) I might be able to get a "normal" socket to work, but it sits to shallow so will have to do some modification if nothing is available....

Thanks :)

Just got hold of an old pillar drill, and was wondering if anyone are able to shed some light on what this brand/type it is

Just recently picked up this "beauty" :) - anyone got info's on these "Union" grinders?.

thnx :)

Some pics of yours would be nice - did you ever take off the "quill"? The project has been on hold for quite some time (turned up a CNC mill I had to sort out first). Hopefully get back to the drillpress in not the to distant future....:) Any tips on removing that stubborn gib key on the...

Yea I think it will clean up - even though it kinda "stuck" in closed position, but from what I can see it's in quite ok condition - wasn't the biggest risk, got it quite cheap so wasn't the biggest risk to take :) Will have to do some de-rusting of it, and was hoping to get to use it for a...

Anyone got any info about this vise - or what type/brand it might be...
