Update on magnetic drill press project

[Tmate]

Finished a second drill press. The stand is identical to the first one. One mag drill has power down/up feed, and the other has variable speed with reversing. Both have two speed gearboxes and a 2" annular cutter capacity. I probably could have bought a drill press with the same features for the same or less money, but where's the fun in that?

I like it.

I'd sacrifice one of my small drill presses for that setup in a heartbeat!

Nice. What is the make/model of the mag drill you used?

 

[Tmate]

The variable speed mag drill is a BDS MAB465. The one with the power feed is a BDS AutoMAB450.

BDS is a German manufacturer. CS Unitec is the American distributor.
