Hello,
a long time since I posted on here. I've since moved house a few times and so lost my previous workshed. I've got a single garage which si going to be the new one (and on the downside, bike and junk store). First task is to build a new workbench as I am working off an old workmate (a proper old one though).
Anyway this thread isn't about that. While idly thinking about what I need to sort out in the pub I 'accidentally' pressed the buy button on an old Meddings Pacera MF4 (I think) because it was just up the road. It's now sitting in two pieces in my van until I find some muscle to help me get it out. I saw it running at the buyers, although it was a bit intermittent; sometimes it would just make a humming noise. It only works in low gear as well.
Once it does make its way into the garage what should be my next steps? Obviously needs a clean up and probable paint job. The table is siezed in the bottom position, but I assume a bit of elbow grease and directed force will sort that out.
I've seen this thread but any other advice for a drill newbie would be helpful.
