angus:
the ajax drill looks similar to mine.... how many speed ?

mines 5 speed, and a bit on the fast side..... wonder if they ever did a variant with a center idler pully

Andrew Wildman:
The ajax drill is a b 16l, 5 speed, min 380 and max 2700. It is a bit fast for large drilling but I tend to do that in the mill (aew goes down to 25 rpm).  The lowest speed on the Herbert drill is about 3000 so I usually use that for v small precision drilling.  Easy to smoke even modest sized drills with it but it is very perpendicular with the table and more rigid than the ajax.
