Reply To: Drill press purchase

Hi Harold.
I would go with davids suggestion on this one, i didnt realise you would be wanting it for such small work. The type of type of drill press I was talking about might not be suitable for the type of work you will be doing. Re-pivoting an arbor is much easier in a watchmakers lathe. I cant remember do you have a watchmakers lathe? If not then why dont you check out the lathes from sincere on e-bay as you can buy the fitting from them to turn the lathe into a micro drill press, obviously more expensive.
Just an idea.
Paul.
