I picked up an old bench drill for £20 at a market day.

You just need to check for play in the chuck so you know it will drill straight although I doubt it would be good enough for critical hole drilling for a live steamer.

Hi,

You just need to check for play in the chuck so you know it will drill straight although I doubt it would be good enough for critical hole drilling for a live steamer.

If the drill bit runs reasonable concentric there is no reason it shouldn't be used for any job within its capacity.

Regards Tony.
