It is in good shape, but it's missing the hub and three handles, and the

This looks like it, but there is no model number on the drill:

These are the missing parts:

I also bought 4, 3' 5/8" drill rods for $3.51 each, at a liquidator
that's going out of business.

I bought what looks like another precision drill, or mini milling
machine. I haven't been able to identify it, but the price was right.



Cameron wants $64.75 for the four parts.

What about just for the hub and the special spoke? (If you had
a lathe, you could even make the special -- and it would not need to be
a particularly large lathe. Even a Taig or Sherline could do it nicely.
The big trick would be making the hub with the hole at the proper angle.


1 MD109-7 SPOKED FEED WHEEL HUB 23.50 23.50
2 MD110-7 FEED WHEEL LEVER, THREADED 10.75 21.50
1 MD111-7 FEED WHEEL LEVER, GROOVED 10.75 10.75
Shipping estimate: 9.00

I can't even find someone with a small lathe, around here. I've asked
around for almost 10 years with no luck.

You...dont have a lathe? How big a lathe would meet your needs?


It would have to be small, to get it into the shop instead of the
garage. Most of what I need to turn is fairly small, but the little
7"*10" might be too small.

I see that Lee vally has the Taig for $269, less the motor. I have a
treadmill motor that should be big enough, but it is only 4.5"*9.75"
