I am looking for a drill like a Fobco 7/8.
For drilling 4" holes with a hole saw into stainless steel I need a minimum speed of 80 RPM or less.
I need to drill these into the ends of control boxes, some of which are a meter high, so the drill has to be Floor standing. It also need a throat of about 200mm
For other jobs I need to mount a tilting vice or a mill vice on the table, so a table with T slots is needed.
With a drill of this size a table lift mechanism will be standard, the lock collar and short rack used by the fobco seems less than ideal, but I have found it O.K. in the past.
There is a nice Elliot drill on E-Bay, but it's being re advertised for a third time as there have been no bidders at £ 550, which is a bit over my budget, especially as it will cost a fair sum to get it transported from Worcestershire to Surrey.
If anyone knows of a suitable drill going cheap please let me know.
