We now have a drill press. The keyless chuck only goes down to 2.7 mm, so we need to get a "pin chuck".
Or use the Dremel and mini-mill for high speed / light duty / precision stuff, this one for everything else.
Ideal jobs :
Dremel
- High speed, tiny bits e.g. PCB drilling
Mini-Mill
- Milling plastic, small aluminium etc.
- Drilling jobs requiring accurate positioning - use the table positioning
Drill Press
- Most general purpose drilling jobs
Model
- Make: Axminster
- Model: ED16SB
- Manual: on the Axminster website
