This is the deepest shelf in the Draper estate, 2,795 machine tool parts, and it works by one method from end to end: the parts list code. Every Draper machine's manual carries an exploded diagram where each part wears a number, and that number typed into search lands on the part, from a collet to an M12 washer.
The shelf holds machines whole, piece by piece. The cutting side runs collets, supporting shanks, chucks and active guards for the working edge. The control side carries PC boards, potentiometers, switches and handles for the machine's hands and brain. The muscle includes hydraulic cylinders and locking pins for the frames and presses, and between them sit the honest fixings, hex bolts, nuts, split and flat washers by size, all listed individually because a machine rebuild needs the exact bolt as much as the exact board, and the parts list names both.
The method matters more than browsing at this depth: two and a half thousand coded lines are found by number, not scrolled. The Stock Number identifies the machine, the parts list names the piece within it, and where a manual has gone missing over the years, the Stock Number with a photo of the old part over WhatsApp on 07754288583 recovers the code from the machine's own list and comes back with the part named.
A machine tool that has stopped mid life usually needs one coded piece, a board, a guard, a locking pin, and this shelf exists precisely so that piece can be bought alone against its code. The Compatible tab confirms each part against its machines, and machine model pages list the confirmed parts from the machine side.
