We are looking at purchasing a new Drill Press for the space. Pledge opened: 19 September 2013

Pledge leader: sjrapid

The item

• Clarke CDP401B Drill Press

Budget estimation

• £320 to include a new stand
• Drill is £263 inc VAT at Machine Mart

Specification

• 16-speeds (existing press is 5) bench-top drill press
• 16mm chuck
• 510w motor (existing is 370w)
• Wet table with tilt
• Rack and pinion lift

Additional information

• The present drill press is very inacurate and has a number of faults. This pledge is to replace it with something built along more industrial lines, that will survive the use/abuse it will get in the space.
• The plan is to implement a modified acNode (but with no restrictions) with the new press to log usage, and also count used hours so that maintenance and lubrication schedule can be followed.
