Review: A good drill once set up. - This is a compact useful small bench drill, with five speeds (by changing the belt over the pulleys). I would note that the milled finish on the table and base are unusually course, a finishing cut on a miller wouldn’t go a miss. The “T” slots on the bed and table hadn’t been finished properly, I had to do that with a round and flat file, also there were a lot of burrs everywhere, they needed tidying up with a file. Once built up and fixed to the bench, the mains lead will plug into a 13A socket, although the plug is an adaptor, which if removed, reveals an European plug on the lead. Our mains supply is 240V 50Hz, the drill works well with that. I can’t comment on duty cycle, I note that it is not for industrial use, so I would assume it is rated for intermittent use only, which is all I shall be using it for. I would not recommend this for precision engineering, because the way the main drilling head fits onto the pole is a bit sloppy, so repeatability when using a jig fixed to the table, will be poor, also I would check all the geometry while setting up if I had to use it for this, for example, for making a part for a model steam engine. For general work like making a replacement part for a “Pop-up” Gazebo, as in the video, it is more than adequate. It was a good price, and delivered on time. I am pleased with it.
Review: Ingenuity Required Here And There - As commented elsewhere, and whilst I could be wrong, this machine looks to be a generic build badged and sold under a number of different company banners. It assembles easily and all the bits were in the box together with adequate instructions so that an average DIY'er will be up and running in less than ten minutes. I wouldn't call the result flimsy but it is quite basic seemingly on the principle that if functions it's fine, there's no finesse on any of the parts but everything does it's job if the user knows what they're doing. If the depth gauge breaks (which it might well do with careless handling) then one can either get out the superglue or find another way (I usually wrap a rubber band around the actual drill at the right level to give a specific depth but I am obviously a sucker for doing things the hard way). The point is that most if not all the support functions (ie depth gauge, angle indicators etc) are just about adequate but probably with a limited lifespan. The core function, spinning a chuck round accurately at varying speeds, is pretty solid and certainly worth the price; it's just that the user might need to use their initiative and experience if and when bits fall off. I bought a Silverline drill vice at the same time and it is annoying that the two aren't made for each other and a bit of ingenuity is needed with the (not supplied) bolting together arrangements; not ideal. The final point I'd make is about the guarantee (not sure why some reviewers didn't claim under the guarantee when the things they experienced happened) which is a healthy three years. Unless used by a professional three years would cover the average DIY'er very well indeed and on such a cheap machine is a good sales feature. I don't know how easy it would be to actually claim but the Silverline web-site looks like it has good access to any service needed. The only confusing thing (to me at least, must be my age) is that the back cover of the instruction manual says that it has a three year guarantee in the top left corner but, on the bottom right, is "Guaranteed Forever" in several languages, which is the usual Silverline guarantee for some other none power tools. Overall a good value item for occasional amateur DIY use but might prove difficult to live with if used and abused by more demanding (and heavy handed) tradesmen

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this drill any good with mild steel and stainless ?**
A: Not really, might be ok for 6 or 7mm holes in thin 2-3mm steel but anything bigger it's no good, not enough power in motor and spindle in my one is not centered which means there is a wobble in the bit which makes drilling holes in steel even harder. My advice would be to spend more on a better one.

**Q: What is the taper on the chuck?, need to buy a good replacement chuck, thanks.**
A: Standard Morse taper, as far as I am aware. Any taper fit chuck should be OK.

**Q: Is it possible to use Mortice Bits with the drill press??**
A: I don't see why not - just make sure you set the speed to the lowest possible.

**Q: How do you adjust the speed**
A: adjust belt to speed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no play means accurate holes
*by L***R on 3 August 2015*

I was told by a wise old machinist that the most important thing about a drill press is that there is almost no lateral movement in the chuck, because if there is, it wont drill straight holes. I was concerned that this 'value' item would not have been built well enough, but certainly My version of this has no play, and for that reason alone I would say this is a good drill and, given the price, I think it deserves five stars... I was also told by the same machinist to always use 'centre drills' to start the hole, and when I need an accurate hole this is what I do. Interestingly if you look around on the internet you can find this drill with at least three different manufacturers names on it. Most cost more than the Silverline - because you pay for the brand. Mine is a Silverline! I have had it for about six months and when accurate drilling is required - I use a centre drill, sharp drill bits, and hold the work piece firmly - and i have found I can drill very accurate holes in steel, brass, copper and aluminium. I agree with other reviews about noise, vibration and hassle of changing speed - and I would also add that the depth 'stop' is just two nuts on a threaded bar that tend to loosen themselves off.. which is a tad annoying- but I would have had to pay three to four times the price to see a significant jump in quality.
