    Default Need to source a new return spring for my old drill press!

    Ladies and Gents,
    I please need some help to source a new return spring for my old drill press!
    I inherited the drill press from my father-in-law.
    I think he purchased it from a tool shop in Newcastle.
    Couldn’t happen at a worse time, New Years weekend.
    If anyone has an idea of were and or who I could secure one, thank you.
    Cheers crowie

    Specific Springs Pty Ltd KIngs Park (near Blacktown.) They'll make it for you. Usually while you wait.

    G'day Crowie, I bought one from Hare and Forbes in October last year. I sent them the measurement but the one they sent was too big. So I managed to put the old one back but it's a mongrel to install and you need three hands. If you can wait a day or so I'll see if I can find it and send you the measurement.
