## Partners and “Advertisement” label ##

I want to let you know that I cooperate with a couple of tool companies. Occasionally, they provide me with some of their tools for me to use in the shop.

But: Whenever you see me using a tool it means that I like it and think it’s worth using. When I do a review, I tell you my honest opinion.

I want to be transparent about these partnerships, however, so that you’re not kept in the dark and can make up your own mind if you think I’m in fact unbiased or not.

My partner companies are: Bessey, Kreg, Maschinenhandel Meyer, Triton, Wolfcraft (as of 02/2018)

For anyone also thinking about getting a similar setup: The orange handle is only in the way of the original bar lever, not the upgrade three-spoke lever that Andreas shows.
For a drill, I am using one from Metabo because it has the speed dial on top of the machine, as opposed to being integrated into the trigger.

Hi Andreas,
Thank you so much for your review. Thanks to it I ordered my wabeco stand, received it some weeks ago from Germany and now I'm working and very happy with it.
Greetings from California!

Danke Andreas für das Video und dein Statement zum Webaco Bohrständer. Wenn ich bis dato noch ein wenig unschlüssig war, mir dieses Gerät zuzulegen, hast Du meine „Bedenken“ gerade ausgeräumt. Noch mal meinen Dank dafür.

[JENNISWISS]

ein tolles gerät! ich bin auch stolzer besitzer dieser kombination. andreas dein erklährvideo ist super geworden. herzlichen dank👍

[MrMNRichardWright]

Halo Andreas! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with your drill press setup. For the beginning to intermediate woodworking enthusiasts, this tool has many advantages for a wide range of projects. One big advantage, it seems, is the depth it distance between the support post and drill bit. Please keep up the videos.

Ich habe auch einen Wabeco Bohrständer, allerdings ohne die radiale Verstellmöglichkeit im Horizontalen. Deine Lösung ist für das, was in den meisten DIY-Shops an Arbeit zu leisten ist, absolut ausreichen, eigentlich sogar, weil sehr flexibel, DAS was man braucht. Vorausgesetzt man hat noch eine elektrische Bohrmaschine im Fundus. Danke fürs Teilen und Vorstellen.

Very cool setup Andreas. I can already think of a couple of projects this would be perfect for. You could alway mount an outlet with an on/off switch behind it or mount a power strip on the side or bottom of the cabinet to the right of your drill press. Or make an NVR or Magnetic power switch which kills power on start up if the power goes out.

[alfredneumann]

Hallo Andreas, what you have there, this construction, is called a radial drillpress. In your case of course a very little one. For a beginner in workshopping is this a cheap and good solution. The time will show, in which direction it goes on. Good compilation of your thoughts!

[sumosprojects]

Nice review Andreas & I agree fully about the recommendations you’ve suggested on the pros & cons of drill presses 👍

[sierkdejongh]

I wish I had seen this before I bought a drill press....
The impractical switch can be fixed in the ON-position and the drill switched on with a NVR-switch on the bench front, not only more practical, but also safer. In this case I would choode a drill with speed selection on top

Hello Andreas! In my opinion, this is the best choice for an average budget ! I've spent 170 euro instead of 300 euro for a Bosch PBD 40(country of origin: Romania). Is not the same thing, but it`s ok ;-) Good choice! Congrats!!! ;-)

[Sascha_LB]

Wirklich gutes Setup.
Danke fürs Zeigen

[belarus]

thanks for show and review that one, it was so important

[woodensignsde]

Hallo Andreas,
Danke für deine Dein aufschlussreiches Video. Ich habe von meinem Schwiegervater eine kleine Ständerbohrmaschine und bin nicht zufrieden. Deine Lösung gefällt mir sehr gut.

[MarkMcCluney]

Good vid Andreas, I enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing!

[BobBlarneystone]

It looks well made for a relatively low-cost and portable unit. If I were you, I would tie or clamp on the drill's switch to the On position, and use a footswitch to start/stop the drill.

[troppysholzhuette]

Das man die Bohrmaschine auch waagerecht spannen kann das finde ich ist das beste an diesem Bohrständer
Daumen hoch und danke für dein Video

That is one cool setup, Andreas! Perfect would look out of place in my shop anyway. I had not seen something like this before - all those that use a drill tend to be more flimsy. I think this might be a reason for me to look into upgrading my old drill press. Then again, after over 15 years, I think it has paid off the 99 € I paid for it at the discounter... Thanks for sharing!

[RalfsBastelbude]

Wow... klasse Video und interessanter Bohrständer.

[mwanafeliz]

Nice review, Andreas. Thanks for sharing! (Y)
