John B Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Marg, Be specific, "Dear Santa, I would love a variable speed drill press for Christmas and I promise to be better next year" This is the one I have, but, alas, it is discontinued Edited November 17, 2020 by John B OCtoolguy, OzarkSawdust and wombatie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 All you have to do is ask, and Santa will bring it. At least that was what I was told wombatie, OCtoolguy and WayneMahler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Marg, how generous do think Santa will be? John B is that a reeves drive? Or electronic speed control? OCtoolguy and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I would like larger planer. My wife ask me when she bought a jointer if that was the last tool I needed. Of course I said yes. Since the jointer I have gotten a router table and lift, a new scrollsaw, 2nd 14" bandsaw, lathe and a grinder so I stretched the truth a little bit. wombatie, OCtoolguy and meflick 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 It's too bad that first you don't live close to me and second, you weren't in need a month ago. I bought a larger drill press and sold my small one. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should have known by now that that was a silly question. No crafts-person will ever have enough tools. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) @Rolf It's a Reeves drive mate. When I got it there wasn't any electronic ones that kept torque at low speeds unless you gave them your 1st born in exchange . Actually sometimes I think it wouldn't have been such a bad deal Edited November 18, 2020 by John B Rolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 I only need a small one, that sits on the bench, we have two large ones, but like I said I need a box to stand on to use them, (Bit short in the leg department ). We will go out the weekend and see what's available. Marg John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 @Rolf You are correct mate, but at the time i was a better deal and it was available in Kalgoorlie, which makes it a winner as otherwise a hundred plus bucks for transportation would of been added. And I was totally sick of changing belts to change speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 John I did a fair amount of metal work this year and burned up a couple of bits because I was too LAZY to change the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
