This seems to be commonly resold under a few different brands. I got a second hand one for £30 and it's ok - I blew the starter capacitor drilling loads of steel but it still works, just need to give it a spin to start. There's 5 belt speeds, I tend to leave it on the slowest one.
Vintage stuff is probably a lot better but you'd want to know what you're looking at. Lidl/Aldi probably worth a look too when they have them in.

Is there a recommended inexpensive bench mounted pillar drill?
And if I'm looking 2nd hand is there anything I need to look out for/ask/etc. phase and speed I guess? What sort of speed do I want for steel, wood and alu?
Cheers.
