Pillar Drill

[andyman]

Looking for a pillar drill. Has anyone got one of the offerings from the likes of Warco, machine mart and the like. Needs to run slow 150 rpm ish upwards. Fed up with the limitations of a bench top.

That's a bench mounted drill that the OP wants to get away from.

Just missed a Warco 2F pillar drill at £375 down from £545.
Already got a WM180 lathe very good value for the money.

I have an Elliott Progress Drill Press, circa late 1950's, slowest speed 34rpm a rather large heavy bit of kit but excellent British engineering.

There are a couple on ebay that should suit your needs.

Get yourself an old Fobco or Elliot off eBay or Gumtree, even if you have to buy an inverter to run it, it'll still be running when all those newer drills have worn out and flexed themselves to bits !

Wow! Three phase supply for a pillar drill, what are you trying to drill?

Reminds me of the old air compressor I had that needed it’s own 16 amp supply as it kept blowing 13 amp fuses in the standard supply.

I prefer a modern one. had a myford lathe and to be honest the Warco is a much nicer machine to used.
