There’s currently a few different models for sale at Machine Mart for under £150, which isn’t much more than equivalent used models are going for on eBay.

I just wondered if anyone has one of these cheaper Clarke pillar drills and how competent these drills are at metal fabrication? Or are they as weak as piss and best avoided ?

Thanks in advance.
