With innovative speed adjustment without complicated belt changing and a digital display to measure speed and depth you’ll be drilling accurate holes in no time. The biggest problem I see with large bits is the potential for uneven cutting pressure around the perimeter of the bit causing the lighter construction of the column and drill head mounting to tweak slightly, the results should be obvious especially at the start of a cut.

Very actuate for drilling the same depth hole time and time again and great for countersinking multiple holes to the correct depth. You must send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay, and in any event not later than 30 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from the contract to us.You’ll get exclusive subscriber offers, and more projects, ideas, and inspiration than you can shake a toolbox at. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's easily on a par with other Bosch power tools I've bought. Unfortunately the performance of these machines tends to rise directly in conjunction with their size and weight so it may be a bit of a compromise, although good quality sharp drill bits will help of course. There is a useful little table on the side of the drill, giving you recommended speeds for drilling aluminium and steel.

I really don't understand why this is a "green" tool, which is what Bosch consider a "DIY" tool rather than a "blue" tool which is their professional line. One thing I would point out is I have to tighten the pillar lock as hard as I can to prevent any wobble.

one third of a millimeter) from pushing left to pushing right, measured at the end of an 8cm long bit. As far as accuracy is concerned, it seems fine for my purposes such as using forstner bits to mount hinges on cabinet doors. I had initially constructed a wooden cutting fence table, secured to the Bosch by bolts through the baseplate grooves designed for its own fence.

These trackers help us to provide a personalized user experience by improving the quality of your preference management options, and by enabling the interaction with external networks and platforms. IIRC the drill has 65Nm of torque in low gear, and will do a tolerable job with a 57mm Forstner bit in MDF. To exercise your right to cancel you must inform us (Details here) of your decision to cancel the contract by a clear statement (eg a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail. My full-height pedestal drill press had less travel than this little drill - about 80 mm rather than the 90 mm of the Bosch. For most jobs it seems to grip the bit just fine but when fitted with a 35mm forstner bit, and drilling into 18mm ply the bit had a tendency to slip in the Chuck which is less than ideal.

Setting the clamp is a bit stiff on the shaft (I want to try some machine wax to see if that helps). I find the height adjustment really nice using the wheel and whereas before I would have tried to avoid moving the table I now adjust the height for almost every drill change. The reason I ask is that I don't use a DP as such, but a reasonably high torque power drill in a Wabeco unit. The PTA 1000 workbench provides flexibility on the job, especially for projects with large workpieces. It has two gears, which are easy to switch between via a lever on the side of the unit, with the 710-watt motor supporting speeds from 200 rpm right up to 2500 rpm, and a constant electronic control system ensuring a consistent drill speed, even when used on hard materials.
