Pillar Drill or Drill Stand

[KevM]

The following test from 2008 gives the Brueder Mannesmann M 1255-420 an OK for €15 - make of that what you will.

Mind made up a drill stand it is, for £20 if it does what I need it for great, and if things go the way I hope they will then, I can invest in something better.

Hi

Thanks for the replies, some more useful than others.

Plenty food for thought.

Wizard you appear to have a chip on your shoulder, not very welcoming for someone new to the forum. Do you good to remember some folk are not always as fortunate as yourself to be in a position to by a Bentley when a Mini will do.

Thank you everyone.

Just trying to be helpful, i buy sell and collect tools and have a good idea what to buy and what to avoid.

Well, if the OP has cracked it I'd certainly be interested in a reliable supplier of precision holes. The nice thing is that a selection pack needn't take up too much room because you could stack the smaller holes inside the larger holes.

Postage ought to be reasonable too.
