  • Any thoughts on this bench top pillar drill? There is one near me for ~£150.

    3-16mm strikes me as a good range of hole sizes. And I assume 300 to 2250rpm covers most materials.

    Is 30kg heavy as these things go?

    Cheers.

  • Big, cumbersome, annoying to change belts to get different speeds so you probably won't bother. I got the Bosch PBD 40 and it's been awesome. Aldi/Ferrex also do a direct drive/digital one too. My Bosch was about £180 on a Black Friday deal.
