Do you know if the company is still in business for parts?

My Arboga radial arm drill broke the power down while doing a 3" hole
this
summer. Its on my winter repair list.


Do you know what broke exactly?


Nope, I just engaged the power down and it wasn't there any more. Means you
got to stand there and push down by hand - sux on a deep large hole.


This makes me hope that it is something simple, some intentional weak
link. Maybe there is some roll pin that is purposely made to break
under excess load.
