Hi chaps, my old meddings pillar drill is becoming a bit of a pain these days. So I am looking for a replacement. I would like something a bit heavier then the meddings, but not a monster I can’t move without a crane. I know that fobco 7,8 drills are good, but spares are hard to get I have been told. I have seen an Elliot g3 which looks from the picture to be in good condition. It’s been converted to single phase with a smaller .75kw motor which I am not sure was a good move. Are these drills anygood.

Not familiar with those brands but a .75kW motor is 1HP. That should be plenty for a home workshop drill press. Will drill one-inch diameter holes in steel all day long, easily.
