Aldi drill press

Aldi drill press

I saw this in today's Aldi catalogue.

710 watts.

Would this be a 'brushed' motor - therefore loud like a corded drill?

Too small for an induction motor?

And I can't figure out the vice?

 

Anyone have one?

Re: Aldi drill press

Hi @Jason and @EricL 

 

I should have provided more background to this request.

I have no work shed as such, just a tool shed.

Tools are set up outside on workbenches - weather permitting.

My back is getting worse.

The Bunnings Ryobi drill press I bought back in 2009 is now too heavy for me to lift up - onto the outside bench...

 

Too heavy.Too heavy.

 

In the end I gave up on the idea of a very light digital Bosch drill press - which you can lift with one hand.

Instead I bought a second hand pedestal drill press which I've mounted onto a plywood support with lockable wheels.

It resides in a sheltered area where I can move it outside - along concrete.

See how we go.

 

Cheers

Graeme.
