Does anyone have a Pillar Drill for sale?

Hi All,



I'm a stringed musical instrument maker moving into a studio @ Deptford Cockpit Arts.



I'm looking for a Pillar Drill, either floor standing or smaller table top one, both are fine.



If anyone has one they are selling or knows of anyone please let me know!



Many thanks :) Jonathan


No harm in asking though, is there? It's not like selling things, which I think is definitely discouraged.

well I noticed the other day someone on Facebook wanted to sell a horse riding saddle, but I couldn't decide whether this is/was a DIY relivent.

Had to so I could sent it to a few friends that don't use FB.

I didnlt want to advertise the actual FB link in case it's a scam and as I don't like looking at FB links at work or expect others too.....

I do have one french female friend that is a gypsie/treverler type in France she has a few horses and an arty caravan and helps out at some animal shelter in france, she used to go to fetish clubs when she lived in London.

Don't be ridiculous.

If it isn't too critical there are lots available new at reasonable prices. Machine Mart, B & Q, Toolstation have them at £80 to £100.

If you want second hand try the marketplace on Facebook. It's very good, fast moving, and lots of gear. It's far better than eBay.

Every time you call someone stupid it just makes everyone think that you are stupid.

There are a few on Gumtree or Ebay.

I have a bought new 500W Aldi device that was cheap, I think around £50-00.

It stalls a bit too easily though, but I may have the speed set too high.

One of those desireable things that only gets used twice a year.

I would imagine preloved or Gumtree are the best to monitor. I was going to upgrade, but after thinking of the duty cycle I thought sticking to the cash were a better plan.

nominally no, but you may be incarcerated in a mental institution for it, ie imprisoned.

If it is the same as mine, which I paid £25 for a few years, when the store found couldn't they shift them to primarily food shoppers...

... then that stalling is probably the intermediate pulley wheel in the transfer box has got stuck and just needs lube. If you have the motor belt tight (I do), then there is friction at the intermediate so I oil mine about twice a year. Great purchase, I've done a lot with mine.

(This isn't eBay or Freecycle)

And if it's in Cumbria??

It's not like selling things,

Agreed.
