Does anyone know...

[lynnm]

where I can find the drills on the shop? I just keep getting the bits to go with :N:

[Dennis]

What was the question again?

[mizgeorge]

What sort of drill were you looking for? Pendant, hobby, bow, archimedes.....?

[lynnm]

I want a bench one or one that has a seperate stand but can't seem to find the correct wording for the seach facility

[mizgeorge]

Still not quite sure what you mean, but I think you're probably looking for a pendant motor. Try searching for foredom.

Thanks George but that isn't the one. I was looking for one like the Proxxon they used to do... maybe they stopped it:(

[Di Sandland]

I think you're talking about a pillar drill

[lynnm]

I think you're talking about a pillar drill

Thanks Di... will try that! :D

[lynnm]

nope ... just a pendant drill :N: they must have stopped doing them

[lesley]

What's the difference?

[lynnm]

well the pendant doesn't have a rigid stand

[mizgeorge]

All pendant motors can be hung from a hanger or stand. That's the whole point of them. You have to buy them separately though.

Perhaps you're thinking of the hobby drill Hobby Drill Kit With Flexi Drive Set Rc230x - Cooksongold.com (http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Hobby-Drill-Kit-With-Flexi-Drive-Set-Rc230x-prcode-999-AVL3)

[lynnm]

no, don't want it to be flixible but solid, stationery. A bench drill

[Di Sandland]

In my book that is a small pillar drill.

[lynnm]

mine to, guess Cooksons don't do one now

I think you can also call them a drill press, but that doesn't bring up anything useful on Cookies.

I use a Dremel in a Dremel workstation for this purpose, but I also have a flex shaft attachement so I can use the Dremel like a pendant drill. I also use the dremel in the workstation rotated so it sits horizontally in place of a polishing motor. Quite adapteble and useful if you don't have the space/funds for individual units.

thanks Lucinda, the dremel does a lot doesn't it... the Proxxon I was thinking of is similar to that. Was wanting to price compare

[agent_44]

Yes the Proxxon is very similar though I am not sure they do a flex shaft attachment or that the stand to use it as a bench drill allows you to rotate it the same way as the Dremel.

Hi Lynn,

Cousins do two Foredom drill presses, both are reasonably priced, the more expensive has a dial indicator which can be very useful for precision drilling.
