Fab1 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Extra parts required. It works a treat.Pressure is easily adjusted and the beauty is it still is a manual drill press within seconds too. I better do some o/t to cover my costs now.🤣😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
