{"product_id":"fobco-floor-standing-drilling-machine-stock-code-6847","title":"\"Fobco\" floor standing drilling machine","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   I bought this Fobco \"Universal MT\" some years ago, one of the nicest  condition ones I'd seen. It came from a government workshop and appears to have  been set up to do a single drilling operation, occasionally, for its entire life  - there was a fixture bolted to the table, the drill had been supplied from new  with Fobcos optional fine feed gearbox for the quill, engaged by a dog clutch  when required. The machine is three phase with Brook Crompton motor and safety  cutout on a foot bar. Spindle is threaded 1 1\/8 x 8 tpi like a Myford and is 2MT  bore - there is a hinged flip-up chuck guard with the machine. Both top and  bottom tables are unmarked - no odd drilled holes, dents or gashes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   It's been used on the odd occasion in the workshop here, usually when all the  milling machines are tied up otherwise they get the job. With the arrival of a  big radial arm drill for our boiler shop, the Fobco is really one drill too many  to have about the place, time has come to pass it on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019908010325,"sku":"6847","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6847-1.webp?v=1779908285","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/fobco-floor-standing-drilling-machine-stock-code-6847","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
