Meddings M4 Restoration

[Workshopfriend]

I was looking for a good quality pillar drill with a bit more capacity than my current machine can has - possibly with a geared head. I found this Meddings M4 which seemed to be basically in reasonable condition except for relatively minor issues such as no star handle (for some strange reason), loose drive pulleys etc. I these videos I am, hopefully, bringing up to spec so I can have a useful addition to my home workshop. These might be useful if you are undertaking a similar project.
