Radial Drill

Has anyone gone hands on with an Axminster AWBRD550?
They are too far for me to go have a look but I am very tempted to order one.

Yes, I bought one a couple of months back. The Axminster shop had a 10% off day so I splashed out.

The assembly instructions could be a bit clearer I thought, though this could be because I am not mechanically / engineering minded!

I have not used it that much but so far I am happy with it. The extra throat and depth from my old drill is a great help.

I still need to make a proper drill table for it as at the moment I have just bolted on a scrap of 18mm MDF, so no fence or hold downs etc.

To sum up I am satisfied with my purchase which I think was value for money.

By the way if you can wait till March there is the forum visit to Axminster ---- see "kiddies in a sweetshop" thread.
