What an education Bob so many deviations from the normal taken with the big soft wheel to raise and lower the quill, better get a license to use it. You can improve on your method of holding blanks using the four inch vice and prismatic jaws, the vice is cheap as and prismatic ( horizontal vee and three vertical vees allow rapid safe gripping and can be purchased and easily fitted as well. Like your set up afraid of fingers holding although we all do it at times not necessarily with blanks.
Your small containers look beaut like to be able to get thicker Brasso as you certainly have in that squeeze bottle. i am sure I have lost more sanding sealer than I have used and decanting this quantity makes great common sense same with the BLOil. I have never had a quick stop on a drill never felt the need but if it slow starts thats a bonus together with the Laser criss cross guide. The U shaped adjustable clamp that allows full view is a bonus IMHO I could see lots of mods going in that area to increase the versatility.
As a devoted subject my dearly beloved would haunt a Hobby Shop next to an Axminster as David experiences Wilma and I have a mutual understanding if you dont know thats fine when we shop recriminations follow after very civilly. After all it is for each of us to choose within budget.( sounds good?)
Admire the big soft wheel feed always felt the gap between one of the spokes to the other a flop in conventional drills always acceptable but crucial for us pen guys especially in tough timber.
All of this was brand new to me in drill knowledge indeed grateful to you for showing here nearer 5 am on the 26th.
Kind regards Peter.
