Pillar Drill ( battery powered) build

[Noods]

Frustrated that I couldn’t find a small accurate pillar drill which had the accuracy etc along with versatility I decided to build my own..

I’m very restricted on space etc so many of the good ones in the market are just too large.. I had a battery drill spare with a worn chuck spindle so I stole a spare chuck of a drill that didn’t work anymore and got the sloppy one driving the accurate one..

Really pleased with it especially as I can change a battery in approx 1 minute and due to the way I’ve made the holder tailor fit there’s no requirement to re-align anything for accuracy etc.

Hope you like..

Yeah flat out at work (new job) flat out on the house still!
Rained off the garden wall today so started on the downstairs toilet.
No time to ride the bike this year
Think I've been out 4 times. Thinking of getting a trials bike for a bit of green laning.

Very clever, well done!

I might have to copy that idea of using the digital verniers as a depth guide on my metal pillar drill.
