Lion Bench End Guillotine problems

Post by traighbum »

Do any forum members own/use one of these items?
I acquired one recently, which had been somewhat abused and am currently overhauling it.
I have replaced a lot of worn out moving parts, had the moving blade re sharpened etc, but have reached something of a stalemate as far as the final re assembly is concerned. There are a couple of bolt assemblies which tie the spring loaded , cutter arm and clamp bar together. Mine has accumulated a magnificent collection of washers over its life, in places I did not expect to find any!
Most grateful if someone has one of these and could photograph the the two bolt assemblies, one either end, showing the disposition of washers, nuts etc
Regards
Colin
