Best of luck Vanessa,


I started drilling blanks on an Axminster pillar drill but the machine wasn't accurate enough so I moved on to drilling them on the lathe & got rid of the pillar drill. The lathe was more accurate than previous but also more of a faff, since getting my Meddings pillar drill set up & working I' m getting even better accuracy than drilling at the lathe & finding it quicker.
