3D model description

A drill press for drilling holes on custom PCB boards.

Made to fit a small drill from eBay, but easily modifiable to work with something else as the drill mount is a separate part. Note that this drill comes with a power adapter that has a US power plug.

UPDATE: That drill has a really bad chuck which makes fast and accurate drilling much harder. I have installed a different one that works great. I recommend using this one (or similar) instead of the small drill. This drill has a proper chuck and drilling PCB's is easy and fast.

Original FreeCAD files included. Assembly made using Assembly2 addon module, but it doesn't have all restrictions on movements defined.
