Hi Folks
I've been using a Dremel mini-drill press attachment and diamond drill bits to drill 1mm holes in fused-glass jewellery pieces (in a water-bath).
I seem to get through a lot of drill bits!
Did some looking on-line, and it seems that my Dremel drill-press suffers from the same disease as many other peoples' - in that the drill is at an angle of about 5 degrees to the vertical, which causes the drill bits to wander and/or snap.
There seems to be no way to adjust out this 5 degrees.. The mounting for the Dremel is also a bit sloppy - plastic bracket & all that.
So - I know that there are pcb / modelling mid-range mini-drill presses (around the £200 mark) available - but I wondered if anybody had bought / tried one of these
Looks just like a miniature version of your bog-standard drill press - but with a suitably-small chuck and a nice high/variable speed..
Reviews seem generally OK, and the price is £40-ish... but has anybody here got one / tried one? Thanks Adrian
