Tooling Up - alanfavell - 22-09-2022 I need a new drill press for the workshop (old aluminium case 5 speed job has had it's last rotation), for occasional use - light  industrial.   Need a minimum of 100mm vertical travel, above the table. A table that can be tilted and can also rotate around the pillar.   Lots out there...........   Anyone got a brand / variety recomendation they'd care to share.   Single or three phase is ok too.   TIA   Tooling Up - leehenty - 26-09-2022 I'd avoid the el cheapo chinese stuff if possible. I have used Excel machine tools for years. The kit lasts, the lathe came from them in 1996 and it's still running fine. Obviously it depends on your use and budget. I still run Dad's old Atlas that's probably older than me. It's been rebuilt a few times. <a class="bbc_url" href="https://excelmachinetools.co.uk/">https://excelmachinetools.co.uk/</a> Tooling Up - dablik - 26-09-2022 Machine Mart supposed to have okay stuff i've heard Al !? not so spendy.
