I have made all sorts of things out of wood with WoodPrix plans. Sheds, garage doors, chairs, tables, etc. I've even made a fence and raised beds with these plans. They even have plans like bird feeders there. The selection is overwhelming

I think you can make it yourself, just loook and learn from WoodPrix .

I made it by myself thanks to WoodPrix.

I've checked a lot of e-books with woodworking plans. Instructions from WoodPrix are the best I think.

These things are loud. I watched a review from someone else from a different importer. The plastic may look somewhat different, but they’re all the same. Unfortunately, these use the cheap method of using series wound motors. These are the same as a portable drill. So speed control is very simple. But you lose torque as low speeds and they’re very noisy. I’m curious to see if these are brushed or brushless motors. Brushless being more desirable. Just remember that these are very lightweight machines. They, in no way, replace a cast iron and steel machine weighing more than twice as much. It sounds hugely different here. It’s in no way 73 db A weighted. Maybe 78, which is noticeably louder.

Not a bad drill press, but it needs work. There is a wobble on the chuck which comes from the cheap needle bearings in the gearbox. These I replaced with roller bearings, you can find plenty of videos here showing how to replace them. After replacement no more wobble. I also replaced the wheel with standard lever type arms.

Really precise and informative review - I'm buying one. Subscribed - thank you 😊

It is a rather nice drill press. I have had for years and years now. Glad to see others seem to enjoy this model. A small comment, if I may - at 13:47 you are zeroing on the tip of the wood drill bit, the full diameter holw will be less than 15 mm. To get the exact 15 mm, you would either need to plunge the tip of the bit into the wood, or measure on the side of the board with the flat part of the bit.

Just found your channel - great vids!

Hi sir

Good comprehensive review. The lack of a storage box is deal breaker for me. Not only are you going lose bits, there is also the probability of forgetting which tool they are for. I recently saw a review of the updated version of this router, and couldn't help noticing the uncanny resemblance to the Makita. Again, no case, and double the price. So it's a no! I've lost, or loaned my half inch router - a second hand Erbauer I used for worktop installations - which is why I'm now in the market for a replacement. Anyhow, thanks for sharing.

I used this tool for a few days before returning it to Amazon. The tool itself is excellent, but after drilling a few metal holes, I was unable to unlock the bit without using another tool each time. Additionally, the drill suddenly stopped working, even though I was only using it for light-duty tasks. I decided to return it but am considering purchasing it again, as I suspect I may have received a secondhand item given the poor condition of the box.

Great toy! I enjoyed both your video and the toy I bought.

Good job! 👍 Some times ago I made also rings, mainly from Eukalyptus wood.

Cool!

Videos like this are all over the internet. Do something new. Use an edge guide or something. Something cool?

nice!!

Ye

Hi mr Messingham

This is so good

I have one and it's rubbish. Sloppy bearings, fiddly unergonomic chuck with limited tool depth. Laser innacurate and wide beam width. The hand wheel is just Meh !.

Pity the Chuck moves from side to side. Mine is bloody useless

G’day Mate, I love this smoker, I don’t have a lathe or the skills to use one, so this is ideal for me. The 40mm hole where you put the wood chips, I will place a mudguard washer of the same diameter to stop the smoker from burning too much. Cheers mate

Love this! Great video mate!

is sawdust too small for the screen size?

I have one of these routers and although very powerful, I am not impressed with it. Beware when the router is plunged, the micro adjustment knob turns of its own accord as there is no tension on it. This caught me out a couple of times and I ruined a couple of work pieces before I realised what was happening. Also the first machine I received had to be sent back, as it was impossible to insert the dust collection shroud. Together with the fact that you are unable to contact Rutlands other than by email, I am not impressed with the company.

I also bought this router and noticed the crooked adjuster and nearly sent it back, also my machine appeared to be fixed in the plunge position and wouldn't release. I contacted cust service, and they suggested i fully wind out the adjuster, which did work. I havn't had a chance to really give it a good try, yet but it certainly feels sturdy.

Love it, not seen one like that before. Great gift

Finally got around to drilling the round wooden balls some good some not so good but on the hole not to bad thanks again did go with some of your tips

That drill is three hundred euro eight two in screw fix Ireland evolution drill magnetic six hundred euro

Bought this in the Black Friday sales last year at 40% off, absolute bargain at around $260 at the time. Very happy with it and no wobble with drill bits that my other pedestal drill press has at much higher price. The only gripe I have is that when you lower the head you cut off the intersecting beams of the laser, which was visible in this video also. But impressed with it other than that.

The PBD 40 has some very weak points. One is the chuck, which I changed and that was a huge improvement. Here is a video about how to change the chuck: th-cam.com/video/nCqVoaGVK8g/w-d-xo.html Unfortunately, the machine is very noisy. The noise is caused by sloppy bearings, vibrations and the gear box. Not easy to fix, but since the machine has a gear box, I guess it is not fixable at all. When the machine is new it is acceptable, but it gets noisier all the time, even if you grease the gears. The biggest problem is that rack. The machine head wobbles and there is no adjustment for the wobble. The play is simply huge. That resulted in my decision of finally dumping the machine. th-cam.com/video/3IsRIDdp05o/w-d-xo.html

I wish there was a US equivalent for this drill, its features are super nice.

Just noticed you’re left handed- wondered if that made any difference to using the tools etc? Thanks for the video.

I also use two. This is one of my favorite small drills. I enjoyed the video. thank you

Why do videos of this type NEVER mention the distance between the shaft and the quill.?

What a beautiful piece of art 😍😍

Absolutely spiffing old man! Chin chin.

Watch your video great information just got one of these tried it today for the first time trying to drill wooden balls but exit hole spilts what would you suggest to stop splitting the wood

Who’s a good boy! I really liked how he talked through each step really carefully and showed mistakes - great lesson learning!

I love the design. Really nice build. good alteration, although I bet it was fun watching people slide off the ends.

I always wondered if this worked. I might have to try this next time I drop another project on the floor (happens way to often)

I've had mine for 10 years now. Good machine for the price. Didnt find anything else that matched it at its price point. The display is starting to give up now though. So you cant see the depth and rpms. That's pretty bad I must say. Maybe they have a better one in the current ones I dont know.

so want this!!

Great drill, well reviewed. I stripped the lower red handle and it took months to convince Bosch to honor the warranty and send me a new one. Between local and distant Bosch reps, everyone passed the buck. So watch out and make sure the handle is well seated before applying torque to it. (it has a spring that allows you to pull it out a bit to set it at a different angle)

Really good review. Thanks.

I use to buy Bosch back when it was made in Germany, I avoid it now like the plague since they moved production to China I assume the drill is the same? Sorry you don't know what 73 DB means but then you of that generation....I would have thought finding out how square the drill is to the base would be more useful than sound levels??

Can you fit mortising chisels for cutting mortises to this machine? Useful for a Secondary School wood shop?

It's much quieter than my old belt drive pillar drill - I'm going to get one. I will keep my old drill as it's quite large and copes with bigger stuff and steel in particular, but this will be much more useful for woodwork and lighter stuff which i do mostly.

Very useful video, I got this drill for some time now. Honestly I was doing all my work thru normal measuring. Now I knew after watching your video I am sure it will be more accurate drilling. Thanks again for sharing this video with us.
