I've been looking through the latest ArcEuro catalogue which came with
Model Engineer and noticed that they have recently introduced a reasonably
priced micro drill adaptor:

could reduce the breakage of small drills as the feed is under
fingertip control.
Has anyone tried one?

Yes, very good and so did the first 300 people who saw the advert as they have sold out. If you are desperate Myfords sell a similar model for =A3187

Alan. I bought one at the weekend, I have just rang ARC as I could not figure how it works. They explained that the micro adjustment is not controlled by a screw thread but just by pushing or pulling on the knurled wheel against the springed shaft. In other words it is not controlled by a micro thread just a manual push or pull. I will experiment further.

Thanks for that, but later that year - 2011 - I spoke to Ketan at Arc-Euro and bought one. Although I've not used it a lot it is very useful when using small drills I don't want to break.
