Guest Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I am feeling a little smug with myself today, over the past two days I have picked up two bargains on ebay, The first is a pillar drill for £42.42 https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B2851530682599E0!48698&authkey=!AKFWTlhhaCH8OeE&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B2851530682599E0!48696&authkey=!ABpJyQGc-YS65m8&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B2851530682599E0!48694&authkey=!AJKIxOWTOP5qArw&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg It's a very heavy piece of kit, british made with 3/4 HP motor single phase and even came with a machine vice the table tilts and it has 16 speed settings, and all of the stops and tensioners work as they should. I picked it up from a Hotel in Brighton yesterday and have already pressed it into use and am very pleased. Also I bid and won a collection of Lin bins for £50.00, now nothing exciting there only I am rearranging the workshop and brought a lin bin wall added casters and plan to put all my nuts/bolts and bits on it. They were in preston but not an issue I asked a mate who lived around the corner to pop over and collect them. He then sent me an email telling me that there were so many he had had to make three journeys to collect them all. I really wasn't expecting that many but am again pleased with the potential storage that will be available and the possibility of selling the spares to fund the purchase. Jason.

Bowie69 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Very nice Jason! Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integerspin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The drill looks good. Good luck with the bins. I bought three stillages full of lin bins about ten years ago, took me ten years to sort out shelving for them, until then every flat surface had piles of bins on it;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 nice one Jason . I like linbins, but only in a clean environment.... in a workshop they just fill with dust/grindings/swarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well done Jason, I have a cheap Aldi special and while not great it is a thousand tomes better than a hand held drill. I can't see how I managed before it! Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
