Bought one at Bunnnings for $350 a month or so ago, last one, no box. They said Bosch were discontinuing green tools, so I grabbed it. So far I like it. I like your price better.....
Extra warranty if you register it online apparently

Did some mortise drilling the other day, the wheel is different but manageable. My old drill press had crap handles as well

I'd be keen to find out where you got this? It looks infinitely more usable than the wheel it comes with! Originally Posted by KahoyKutter

$23 from Hare & Forbes. Inside bore is 25mm and I believe the handwheel shaft on the drill is 19mm so I've ordered a 25mm aluminium pipe with 3mm wall thickness to use as a sleeve. It should bring it down to 19mm but this is all theoretical at this stage because I don't yet have the drill or the pipe. Originally Posted by Midnight Man

All mounted and ready to go. I utilised a metal GMC grinder stand I bought from the forum Marketplace

Resourceful, what height is the stand? Mine turned up today, I’ve got it on the bench (90cm) while I have a play with it and found it a little low for sighting unless I was sitting on my long legged chair I made for grandkids when they were little. Probably need to mount about 110cm if I place it somewhere to stand.
Pretty impressed with with the operation, controls and the electronic depth gauge, laser centre seems a little bit out but i usually centre pop so no big issue there, there is a little play in the spindle as others have mentioned but holes seem ok for my purposes. Overall for a DIY machine and the price we paid I’m happy with the purchase.

It’s 87cm to the bed which is a little low when fitting drill bits but not too bad when drilling. Thinking of getting it on a wheeled base so that will lift it 10cm which will be better.
Spindle play is minimal - I’ve certainly used more expensive ones that are worse. Laser is out about 1mm (wonder if it adjustable?) but I always centre punch as you do.
As you say, for the price it’s a good deal.

Found this link on adjusting the laser. Haven’t tried it so I can’t comment
