Hello folks
Been giving my pillar drill the once over, since I bought some nice drills last week.
After looking at quite a few youtubes, I thought a chart would be nice to have.
So got out the pen and paper and made a chart, copying the label from a paused video
of a similar pillar drill where it was stuck under the lid.
I thought I'd easily find 50hz UK spec figures for this easily,
Trouble is I cannot find a chart with the same configuration/layout of the chart I drew,
and trying to match them up is giving much different figures.
Many new models of drill have a fifth groove on the quill pulley, so added to the issue.
Do I really need some sort of calculator and also measure the pulleys, to write in the speeds on my chart?
I'm not looking for speeds relevant to a specific drill size in question, just presumably what the chuck is spinning at in regards to belt orientation.
If it is indeed the chuck that is used to calculate this, or is it the quill that this measurement is taken from?
Thanks folks
Tom
