Meddings Pacera Pillar Drill

[RosscoPCole]

In the workshop I have a Meddings Pacera Pillar Drill. The nuts are missing from the depth stop and I was wondering what size are needed?
I have included a photo of the serial plate if it helps.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't.

Have you looked for a manual for the machine?

http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=27829

Part number is 27, on page 2 of the manual. 1/2" BSF.

Proper knurled nuts in that obsolete thread will be next to impossible to source. Standard 1/2" BSF nuts are easy to source.

If you want knurled nuts, buy two of these:

an 11.2mm drill bit (in brass an 11mm drill bit would be OK) and a 1/2" BSF taper tap.

Thank you ChaiLatte. Much appreciated. I tried looking for the manual, but my searching skills aren't as good as yours.
