Certainly wasn't the finish cut, but yes I remember thinking- how does the toolbar not just snap off!

Steel was sloughing off like it was wax... incredible.

Get one of these.

Very cool
 

That was very cool to watch. I could imagine seeing the techs viewing that machine at work looking like a bunch of kids watching porn drooling on the floor. We all wish that we could have a machine like that in our shops.

I'm in need of a drill press, but dunno which one to buy. I want to buy it in Europe, because shipping from the USA is far too high. I want to spent about $100-$150 on it. Today I went to some shops, and looked at some drill presses, you could really notice the difference on them. There was one for $60, one for $100 and one for $230 or something like that. The one for $60 had on all parts a bit of play, also on the drill chuck about 2-3mm. The one for $100 had a bit less play, and the one for $230 had almost nothing.
So there was (of course) a difference between them. But what are the best price/quality brands? I really don't know for what I should look for. Serum already advised me a 'Ferm', they're cheap and look good.

So, for what Brand should I look for? (Should be avaible in Europe)

budget??
 

The major choice here depends on the budget that you are working with. Over in the UK you have access to Festool equipment which is one of the best in quality for Eu. I found that they are also one of the most expensive in most cases. Like you stated there are different levels of quality which only you can decide at what level you wish to work with. For my own taste I try to get something that is of the best quality that I can afford with whatever budget I am working with. I dispise having to use something of crapy quality so I try to go for fairly high quality, which usually equates to higher pricing, but then I know it will last a long time and give me the best work possible.

As said, I want to spend about 100-150 dollar. I'm 16 years old, got an very expensive hobby and some other things in my life to spend money on, so I can't/won't spend $1000 on a drill press which I will use once a month...
Normally I would go for quality, but I haven't got 1000 dollar laying around :lol:

Any idea what will be 'good' (good enough) for me?

if your only doing light work, you can look into a dremal drill press....


what he's trying to say is, "buy the best one you can afford, and you won't regret it later"
