Now for very little money you can keep one on the back bench.

Cox Mon, 12 Apr 2010 06:10:59 +0000 #comment-2664 Ordered, paid and delivered within a week. I unpacked, and assembled within 2 1/2 hours. The drill <br />is silent and meets its specification. Just a few tips. I used 4 1/2 inch bolts for the base. Before bolting the column to the base, clean, and try inserting into the headstock. You will note a column stop about 2 1/4 inches inside the headstock. When you are satisified that the column will easily move inside the headstock, place a piece of insulating tape about 2 1/4 inch from top of column. Now bolt the column to base. Next, the table support, mine was slightly rough between the clamping space. Used a fine file. table support then easily slides on the column. Now slide table support on column, then the headstock, the tape will indicate when headstock is fitted correctly. <br />I fitted a 4" vice to the table support, with one side bolted to the table, using 1 1/2 bolts. It works for me. Support lock handle, mine is fitted to the left hand side!!!!!! <br />I tapped the chuck using a mallet. The drilling return spring is OK. I did not change the drill depth stops. <br />Finally, beware, the overall height is 22", but the pulley safety cover requires a further 5 inches. <br />Easily a five star plus for the product, delivery and cost.

Finally, beware, the overall height is 22″, but the pulley safety cover requires a further 5 inches.

Easily a five star plus for the product, delivery and cost.
