Best Bench Drill?

[Michael Macconnell]

Hi everybody,
I have got up to £100.00 to spend on a bench drill, Is there one that stands out from the rest?. As anybody seen the new Fox?

Best wishes
Mike.

Hi Mike

I got mine from Machinemart and am very happy with it. Many are currently on offer there too

I have a rack and pinion ro raise/lower the table + a low voltage light integrated near the chuck. Also there is adjustment to remove any play in the main spindle.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for that info.

I got one from SIP. It's big enough for the price.
I got it for €150 which would be about £100.
So far I am relatively happy with it, but haven't used it a lot yet.

Hi Michael,
Go for one with the biggest motor you can afford, wish I did as I am able to stall my Clarke metalworker (tat) :evil:
