I had one once I don't have it any more, should say it all :ddb: |

I have one on the large drill press. Looks identical, but is a Sears Craftsman unit. I'd never use it for anthing but a drill press (i.e no milling). Most of the time it sits on the base underneath collecting dust. |
| Bernd:
I agree with Bogs and rleete. Mine looks like yours. Probably far eastern made. Mine also sits under the drill press collecting dust and swarf. Bernd |

Don't waste your money. I had one when I was young and impressionable ... I thought it'd be a cheap way of doing some milling. It doesn't work at all and the casting cracked when tightening hand tight! Useless, put the money to one side and save up for a milling machine! |

I too thought they looked really neat... a good idea if properly executed. Thankfully they had one on display at Wholesale Tool in Tampa. COMPLETE junk. I mean.. wow. THe cranks were flopping around.. everything was loose.. no provision to tighten anything up. THe lead screws had a tonnnn of play in them. And it felt like... I dont know how to describe the metal. But it was light. Almost like it was air mixed iron if there is such a thing. Very light weight. They have had them on sale forever there.. and I cant stomach spending the $9.95 to buy one. |
