Hi,

Does anyone have a manual or an exploded diagram for a Fobco 7/8 drill press. I have to fix one that has a problem with the quill sticking. It is definitely a mechanical problem (as opposed to a problem with the spring) and I would like to know what to expect when I take it apart. I would also like to avoid slitting my wrists as the spring twists its way free and flies off down the workshop.

Thanks in advance.

David.
