hi all,
ok got a slight problem, i recently ordered a small drill press (http://www.screwfix.com/prods/54072...Press-230V;jsessionid=I5XWPGHATAO1YCSTHZPCFFI)
i put it all together nicely nicely, then came the time to press fit the chuck on (which the manual instructed me to) as i was nearly finished with fitting the chuck the "drill platform" (soz don't know the proper name for it) snapped off by the very top of it, i don't think i can send it back because its been used, albeit for fitting the chuck!
and to top it off the vice i bought for it is to big to fit on the platform lol.

so what would you suggest i do next, should i attempt to make a new one (i think the original platform was cast iron), should i try and buy a new platform out of different metal ?
if i do need to buy a new drill press i don't really wanna spend more that i already have on this one.
also i didnt really know where to post this so i just put it in here, could a mod move it to the correct section
thanks.
