    Meddigns pillar drill M4 Mk2

    In case anyone else is looking for them the pulley outer diameters are as follows (all measurements in mm). These are the same for both the MK1 and MK2 M4.

    Meddigns pillar drill M4 Mk2

    Thanks for those measurements, if you get a chance could I trouble you to also measure the diameter of the other 4 pulleys on that stack?

    Clamping's making my head spin.

    Don't get me wrong, I think the Dakota brand is pretty good.... I have a few of their tools. Just think it's a little underhand to call it Dakota when the kit never has had anything to do with the USA ... well apart from being copies of some American patents. .... hmmm think I've just had that...

    Clamping's making my head spin.

    All part of the Dakota branding attempt to make you think you are buying an American product. Most of the Dakota brand comes from the Fortune extendables company from what I can tell. I think Dakota is just a Rutlands brand name. Google Fortune Extendables and you will see a vast amount of the...
